Text in continuous subform

[Guest]

Hello,

I have this continuous subform with a few records. I need a label frame next
to some of the records to provide an explanation. Is there any way to do that?
I suspect that due to the nature of continuous forms there isn't, so I was
thinking about changing the form to a single form. I'd have to tell each of
my then multiple text boxes which record to show, ie. text box 1 is to show
record 1, text box 2 - record 2, etc. How would I accomplish that?

What do you mean by a "label frame"? Give me an example of an explanation
that you need to provide.

Hi Niniel

In a continous form a common "cheat" is to use a text box with an IIf
statement as it's control source and use condidtional formating to hide the
box if the criteria is not met.

What is it you are trying to do - do you have an example with some field
names.

I'm trying to recreate a paper form in Access, and I have 7 items. For 2
there's additional text providing instructions. It looks something like this:

- abc
- blah blah blah
- blah blah blah
- def
- geh
- tra la la
- tra la la
- ijk
- lmn
- opq

The 3 letter items are my records on the continuous form, the text is not in
the database. The records themselves are also just text.
Hm, maybe my best bet is to simulate footnotes and put the extra text
underneath the subform, instead of next to it. Too bad the subform refuses to
have anything put on top of it.
