    Continuous form ?

    How might you program a form to behave as follows ?

    At the top of a form would be a combo boxes with Order numbers and related
    data...

    As the user selected orders from this box, the orders would get added to
    the form below... for each order that is added there would be a series of
    buttons that perfom some timekeeping functions (i.e., start time / end
    time).... assume that the user selects 10 different orders... the form
    would be required to scroll so that all ten orders with their respective
    timekeeping buttons would scroll within the "sub form" ...

    Any ideas ?

      I take it you're upgrading an Access form?

      One way to mimic this behavior is to create the "subform" as a
      usercontrol that contains all the necessary controls. Then when the
      user begins entering into the uc, raise an event to tell the main form
      to add another usercontrol below the current one.

      Thanks,

          Thanks Steve...

          I do not see a "subform" control....

          Do you have to create your own somehow ?

              I think you misunderstood my post, I said you can mimic MS Access's
              subform functionality by creating a UserControl.
