DISPLAY LAYERED (HIDDEN) FORMS 1

[barry2004]

Hi guys i have a problem but one which i believed you have encountered and answered before.
I wish to create a form (frm_lapstock) which has buttons on one side which when clicked on would open and display other existing forms on the right-hand side of this new form. See :-

http://www.baybie.clara.net/form1.JPG

The available forms are called: frm_available, frm_unavailable, frm_summary and frm_bookings.

The buttons would open/display whichever one of the forms they are linked to on the right side. By the way, whatever form is linked to button1 would be the default form displayed whenever "frm_lapstock" is opened.

you mean a tabbed control on a form with a subform on it?

Create each of the subforms and put them on the right-hand side of the main page where your buttons reside. Set the subform control for button 1 as visible=true and all the others as visible=false.

Using the code for each button, set the appropriate subform control visible=true and all others visible=false, like:

Button4_OnClick
Me.SubForm1.Visible = False
Me.Subform2.Visible = False
Me.Subform3.Visible = False
Me.Subform4.Visible = True
