subform data based on button selection

[Guest]

I'd like to create a form with the top third being student contact data.
Under that have 4 or 5 buttons (i.e. personal data, courses,grades) that the
user can press to display the appropriate data in the other 2/3 of the
screen. Whats the best way to do this?

Thanks

The easiest way is to use a tab control with each of your
subforms on a different page.

Another way would be use a single subform control and have
your buttons set its SourceObject property.
