i need to build a form with large amount of fields
when i will scroll to the right the combo box will always appear,any
ideas?
 
I'm having trouble visualizing what you are trying to accomplish.

On the chance that I've guessed what you hope to do, have you considered
using a Tab Control rather than forcing the user to scroll...?

my problem is that i have alot of fields that the only way to show them
nicely is by making them as "train" but still i need to have the pick
list and 2 fields that suppose to appear on the screen no metter where
the user is on the screen scroll

If, by "train", you mean you want the user to complete the controls in a
particular sequence, you can use a tab control to do this. If you need to
see certain controls always, you can create a new form, add those controls,
then add your tab control.

Put the related controls the user needs to see first on the first tab page,
second on the second... and so on.

You can even hide the tabs at the top and control the movement between the
pages with command buttons. For an example of how this could look, start
the New Query Wizard in the database window. For all practical purposes, as
you migrate through the wizard, you are moving from one tab page to another.

the problem is that for the record tab control its little bit of an
issue,becaouse if will just give an option of "OR" and not "AND" and i
think that the users will prefer the "AND" option

another problem that i have using accualy this tab control is the issue
that i'm using all the forms levels(header,detail and footer) so i will
need to use the control tab on eath and one of them+
i think that the best solution for me its to find a way to indicate the
window frame left and by that manipulate the combo boxes togheter with
the scrolling
if you know the function it will really help
for now i saw me.windowleft but its not working when the form is
maximized

I've not used the approach you are trying to find, so I won't be much help
there.
