I have been trying to figure out a way to essentially force a subreport into a text box on the main report. For example, I have a main table and then two related tables that have only two fields: the ID code relating the subordinate tables to the main, and one other field. Because there are...

I am trying to create a continuous form with a continuous subform but Access won't allow this, so I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround or any suggestions. What I'm trying to do is create a task list that will appear on the screen (in a form, not a report) in essentially this format: X...

I have a form (actually, it's a subform, but I don't think that matters for purposes of this question) that is set to display only in continuous-form mode. The form takes up the left hald of the screen and each of the records is displayed in one line. There are a series of buttons associated...

I have been working on setting up an Access database and thought I had everything figured out (especially thanks to some help from folks here), but I have been running into a problem that I haven't been able to solve. It's taken me about a month to try various options without success --...

Does Access support either frames or a workaround in forms? Here's what I am trying to do, and maybe you could suggest ways to accomplish it. On the left 1/3 of the screen, I want a "frame" that will display certain fields of the main database table. Next to each record will be 2-3 buttons...
