combobox and Fields

[Lhuffst]

I have several forms that have the same information plus some so I thought it was be a good idea to create combobox with the main category and then based on the selection, have the field display the appropriate fields. I know I can put all the fields on the screen but I want it to look somewhat nice (lol).
If I have

tbldata
fldDateAdded   -every form has this
FldSubmittedBy -every form has this
Fldsheets      -one form has this
FldNoTrucksInspected - yet another form has this
....

Form:
cboCategory: has the list of all the forms available

form1 has 3 fields: Date added, Submitted By, Sheets
form2 has 5 fields: Date Added, Submitted By, Meter Size, Bronze/Plastic, No Meters Scrapped

So when Form one is selected on the combo box, I want the next row to show form 1 fields
when form two is selected on the combo box, I want the next row to show form 2 fields.

Is there a way to do this?
thanks

If you have a bunch of different forms, you could add one as a subform and then use the after update of the combo box to change the Source Object.
