    Display whole records only in continuous forms


    Is there a way to display whole records only in continuous forms? See the attached for an illustration of what I mean. Only the top half of the new record is visible. I'm wondering if the form footer can be set to expand to cover up the visible half. Note that the form will be viewed on screens of various heights.

    AFAIK, beyond sizing the detail section of a form to suit a particular record count, no. But it looks like you have turned off your vertical scrollbar, which will prevent user from moving the bottom row upwards. There are other avenues you could explore, such as using a single record form design instead of continuous or datasheet views.

    Essentially no. Unless your dataset is always 5 records. You need to utilize vertical scroll bar.

    Thanks for confirming this and potentially saving me a lot of time. The vertical scrollbar is on, by the way: I just omitted a very wide memo field from the screenshot.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
