    Can I Pin A Text Box To A Continuous Form Without The Contents Scrolling Across Records?

    Hi, I have a text box with notes in it, but I'd like the notes to stay fixed on the form and not scroll away to each record. Is it possible to do that? Cheers.

    Hi ranman, I think I incorrectly explained it. The text box is fine. It stays fixed as I scroll across my records. But it seems the text within the text box is tied to the current displayed record. And when I scroll, the text disappears as I scroll to record two. What I'd like to do is have the text fixed across all records. I don;;t want it linked to the first record. I'd like to to be independent. Does that make sense? Cheers.

    Ok. Cheers. I ended up creating a pop-up form as a separate Note form. Much prefer that in fact.
