Help please! I want to add what I guess would be subforms to a main form but
I can't seem to get tem to layer properly.

The best way to describe it is in the time billing template, if you click on
a customer or employee's form, you can see all their details on the front
form, then by clicking a tab at the top, you can see other info like expenses
etc.

I want to do the same thing and have started with the "contact" template
which has one form for each contact. I have set up foms for contacts and
then their additional information, but can't seem to get them to layer on the
main contact form.

Does this make sense and if so, can someone pleeeease help me to work out
what is probably a realy simple thing t do!

Thanks

Kylie

Click to expand...

Try using a "Tab Control" from the toolbar. This gives you multiple tab pages;
you can put different controls (including subforms) on each page.
 
Thanks John,

I've just found it in help and watched the video (and it worked!) Thanks
for providing the right term to search by!
