Continuous Forms

[RottPaws]

I'm trying to make the move to VB from MS Access, which I've used pretty extensively for a couple of years.

Access has a nifty setting for forms that enable you to make a form "continuous". For example, if I do a search for all open orders, I could have a continuous form that would open listing heading information from each order.

The form can have header and footer sections that appear once and it has a detail section that repeats for the number of records in the recordset.

Is there a way to do this in VB?

It sounds like you are looking to do a report here and not a form. You can do this with the Data Report option. This is located at Project->Add Data Report.

Hope that helps.

The Microsoft DataRepeater control will get you part of the way.

What I'm looking for is sort of the display capabilities of a report with the functional capabilities of a form. I'll look into the data repeater and see what I can do with that.

Thanks for the responses.
