I have a table with 12 questions. I want the user to see and answer each question yes/no and comment on each question. I'm having trouble getting all the questions to appear with the "yes/no" and "comments" columns. This will eventually appear [as a subform?] on a tab on a form.

Need to create a user survey based on questions in a table.

I'm not sure what your question is exactly, but "a subform on a tab on a form" sounds awfully crowded. Especially with a comments field.
I use an audit form with checkboxes. Depending on the selection for each question, a comment may be required. On the before update of each option group, I check the value and if it is "Unsatisfactory", a pop-up form opens for the required comment.
It gives me a lot more flexibility with space on the form.
You could even have the comment displayed in a label or textbox right below the yes/no option.
Of course, maybe space is not the issue. Post back with a bit more detail and we'll see what we can do.

Space isn't the issue, yet. I'm having trouble creating the "survey". You mentioned audit form, which may be what I need to create. I looked in Access Help and didn't get a response to audit form. Is that something I can make from two tables? I'm trying to use both my Questions table and a Details table.

To John,
