Displaying form records in columns instead of one vertical column

[Garrett]

I'm wondering if there is a way to layout an MS Access form similar to a Windows 8 metro layout - that is, where records are displayed vertically, but instead of scrolling down, records are wrapped to the next column so the user scrolls horizontally. I'm using MS Access 2010.

I am not sure how 'metro layout' applies to Access records. Maybe provide a mockup for analysis of what you want to accomplish. Possibly a CROSSTAB query is what you need or http://allenbrowne.com/func-concat.html

While it may be possible, keep in mind there is a hard limit on how wide your Forms can go.

That will put a limit on how much data you can display if you want something that expands horizontally instead of vertically.

I believe this function exists in the FlowLayoutPanel for .net. I Have not found a way to implement this in Access. Optionally you could also try displaying the data on a website using Div's with the float property set to Left or Right accordingly.
