I have a form that contains a continuous subform with many records. Normally the continuous subform display vertical (up to down) with the 1st record on top, then 2nd record, etc. Is there a way to display the continuous subform horizontally with each records display next to each other across.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
1) Sorry, No

2) You MAY be able to fake this out with an adroite use of small forms repeated across the area of the subform, and positional values in each record that you will have to programmatically work with..

For example, if you can fit 4 records across, give records
1, 5, 9 , 13 and so on "A",
2 , 6 , 10 , and 14 "B",
3 , 7 , 11, and 15 "C",
and 4, 8 , 12 , and 16 "D"

Then arrange your forms with four separate queries, each query returning the "A" records, or the "B" records, or the "C" records, and so on.

Base the left most form on "A" records query.
Base the second form in on "B" records query, and so on.

aaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbb cccccccc dddddddd

It's kludgy and kinda bizarre, but it should work.
