Continuous vs non-continuous Forms

[SpentGeezer]

Greetings,

Can someone please explain to me the difference between a continuous and a non-continuous form is? I have searched far and wide, and I think that a continuous form is just your standard form..... so what makes a form continuous? What makes a form non-continuous??????

A non-continuous form shows one record per form page. Whilst a continuous form shows all the records on a single form page one below the other, and will (should) have a vertical scroll bar to allow the user to scroll through the records, of course the navigation buttons on the bottom of the form can also be used.

The main drawback with continuous forms is that unbound controls will all reflect the results of the record that currently holds focus.
