stacking form entry stuff

[DonkeyKong]

I am trying to make forms for my database class. What I have so far I am pleased with and would fulfill the project requirements just fine, however, I would like to add a little touch to really make the whole thing professional looking.

There are two check boxes that are visible when you first open the form. Depending on which one you "check" different fields appear to be filled in. The problem is that the fields appear like they look in the layout view. Instead, I would like for them to take up the same area on the screen.

I don't feel like messing with images right now so I will try to explain this verbally:

(CheckBox1) (checked) (CheckBox2) (unchecked)

field 1 (field1 data entry)
field 2 (field2 data entry)


(CheckBox1) (unchecked) (CheckBox2) (checked)





field 3 (field3 data entry)
field 4 (field4 data entry)



See, I would like field3 and field4 to also be in the same place as field 1 and field 2 when the other box is checked. Is this possible? Thanks.

In design view put them right on top of one another. It will look bad in design view, but as long as you have the code working to hide the correct set at the correct time it will look fine to the user.

I should probably not lose hope so easily and just experiment a little more. select all layed out fields, go to layout, select remove layout and then start stacking!! Thanks plog!
