Design - form opening a form next to it.

[GraemeG]

Hello.

Refer to pic attached.
I was wondering if i could create a main form which is like the navigation centre. Which then from the buttons on the left will open the related form in the blank blue box to the right side. Is this something like a subform?

The picture probably explains it better.



Thanks

a subform would be too complex. try simply placing other forms into that blue box area in design view, saving them in design view and then opening them in modal view on each button click. That should be fine. Saving them in design view that way makes their last position stationary. E.G. - the next time they're opened they stay put!

That would be your best bet, I would think.

Thanks i've resolved this with a ControlSource box and then the buttons open up a form into this controlbox. Thanks anyhow!
