I know how the header and footer work, on a continous form. However, is there anything that functions the same way, only to the side?
Or should I just make it a subform and be done with it.

P.S. Happy New Year
 
There is no 'sider' and even using a subform on the continuous form is unlikely to have the desired effect as you would have multiple incidences of the same form for every record - not what you seem to be looking for. You would most likely have to have a subform adjacent to your current continuous subform to act as this side form.
 
baldeagle,

On a Continuous Form, Access wants to handle all of the "vertical" manipulation.
That's why when you put in "unbound" controls, it replicates them, and (prior to
Conditional Formatting) all of the row's colors were the same.

If you put a subform to the side, you can display what you want, but don't expect
to have any vertical <--> vertical synchronization between them.

What did you have in mind to put in the "Sider"? As long as it relates to the
Continuous Form's CurrentRecord (and not its relative position), you should be OK.

I am working on a MRP II system.
One table contains generic process steps.
The other table contains product specific steps. (I.e. Some products only get baked and bagged, others get pickled and canned.)

I figured out how to do it with a continous subform. I can even set the order of the events and move them up and down. Thanks for the help. It was just enough to get me thinking.
