I have a subform with only one field. I have the properties set to Continuous Form. Two questions:

1. How can I make the new entry appear at to the right of the first field, rather than below.

2. Even though I have the property set to Can Grow = Yes, the subform does not get any bigger on the main form. Any way to allow it to grow as needed?

Thanks in advance for any help

Your subform will only grow as large as you have allowed its spacing on the main form. If you want to show continuous records, have the subform set to show a vertical scroll bar. As for setting the information across the page rather than up and down, this would involve snaking columns where you would adjust your column width to hold only the width of one field before going into the next column. Unfortunately if you do have multiple entries, taking into account the width, you would probably only get 3 or 4 entries across before you ran out of room unless you have a horizontal scroll bar to handle the viewing. The maximum width allowed in a form is 22" wide.
