Is it possible to split up a form vertically?

I have a comments subform whose results are currently in a report. Right now, the report lists the conents of the record with all of the comments from the linked table below the record. Is there a way to put the "detail" area of the report on the right side of the page so that the contents of the record are on the left and the comments are on the right?

Hopefully I'm being clear, let me know if I'm not.

Thanks,

Daniel

 
I haven't tried this but I think it is possible. Create a sub-report with the details info on the left side of the sub-report. It can be a tall area for the sub-report if necessary. On the right side of the sub-report put your control for the comments. It can be just one line height to start with the CanGrow property set to Yes. I believe this may work and give you the results you wish.

Give it a try.
