Hello Group
I have designed a form in legal size. I wish to split the form in two parts i.e front side and back side. How can this be achieved. The database is lengthty one and the form has to be used both front and back side
I would appreciate any help in this matter.

TIA
Rashid

Create you two pages on one form, it will be long. This way your data, front and back, is tied to one table and one form.

Put a page break between pages on your form.
Have one or more buttons on both pages to goto the top of the next/previous page. A control or zero width at the top of each page to which focus is set does this well. As far as the 2nd page, goto the bottom of the 2nd page first, before going to the top, otherwise the top of the 2nd page won't be at the top of the window.

You can do something similar for jumping left 2 right and right 2 left on a form.

Both appear very slick and professional.

Thanks for your reply. But my form is in legal size and all the field does not fit on one long page as you have suggested. It stops around 22 inch. And regarding adding button I am not aware of how to achieve this. Could you guide me in this please.

Many thanks
