How can I duplicate NameList from MS Access Contacts Web Database???

Ok, so i've search till my head hurts now. I'm a rookie at Access, but i'm hitting a quick learning curve as I go. I'm working on a custom contact database, and since I like what Microsoft did with the template "Contacts Web Database", i'm going to use it as a design idea. I understand that it was designed for web, so I'm only using their idea and not all the coding... Well some of the coding, lol!



Here's my problem, I want to create a NameList like they have for a subform. My problem is I cannot seem to get it to populate more textboxes. I've gone in their layout and looked at the code, and even verified that it's not a list box. How in the heck are they adding text boxes simply based on the amount of contacts? I'm using Access 2010 if it makes a difference.

Thanks,

I can be taught! Or at least a few easy things...

So my problem was actually pretty simple. Once I opened my form in Design View, I selected the Form on the Property Menu. All I had to do was change the Default View (under the format tab) from Single View to Continuous View.

Now the single textbox that I have will duplicate for each contact in the database. It looks so much better than throwing in a listbox, and now i have an almost complete duplicate of their list.
