Hi all. I think the answer to this question is going to be a flat 'No', but here we go.
I want to have something like a datasheet, except with with records shown as columns instead or rows.
For clarity, a datasheet displays records as rows, like this:
field 1 field 2
record 1 record 1
record 2 record 2
I'm wanting to present the data the other way around, like this:
field 1 record 1 record 2
field 2 record 1 record 2
Just to complicate matters, the number of records to be displayed is variable, so it should add more columns as required.
About the only option I can think of is to create a subform with fields stacked in a column without labels, and try to dynamically stack the forms as needed, hooking them up to the correct data on the fly.
Alternately, I wondered if I could dynamically generate a recordset with each record containing the field value of multiple records. I can see myself getting into trouble trying to update data this way however.
Any thoughts, or just a giant 'No'?
