Bonjour all, hope you're having a fun day....
An idea popped into my head, and I wondered if it was doable - is it possible to make a form expand into sublevels when in form view? I've seen it before in a table's datasheet view, but can it be done in form view?
What I'm trying to do is this - I've got a subform in continuous view, showing performance for manufacturers. What I'd like to do is be able to show the figures for vendors (one manufacturer, many vendors) by clicking a + button next to the manufacturer.
My first guess would be a command button that increases the height of the form (but then how would you do that just for the selected record?) to reveal another subform with the vendor numbers therein, but am I reinventing the wheel?
Thanks in advance all,
