    One main form but showing separate parts when a user presses a button

    Afternoon all,



    As the title suggests i have one main form which has high level information, lets say that is level 1, when the user needs to, they press a button which is level 2, and such from level 2 if they need more they go to level 3 via a button and finally from level 3 goto level 4 all while showing all information up the level they have selected.

    Each level has a pricing matrix attached and the higher the level they go the more pricing options they have to play with.

    Any ideas how i do this, i have a feeling its sub forms but i am unsure how to hide them or show them via clicking a button.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    I suggest you show us your tables and relationships as a jpg or png file.
    It might also help you and readers if you gave us an example to put your data into context.
    Levels, buttons and price is a little abstract without seeing some design.

    Good luck.

    subforms? But instead of button, put a combo box.]

    data in combo box:
    CAPTION, FRM
    -------------------
    Pricing, frmSubPricing
    Sales, frmSubSales
    etc

    user sees col 1 (caption), col 2 (the subform) is hidden
    then when user picks the item, the subform displays that data from col 2.

    Code:
    private cboBox_afterupdate()
        me.subform.SourceObject = cboBox
    end sub
