Continuous form ?

[Rob]

How might you program a form to behave as follows ?

At the top of a form would be a combo boxes with Order numbers and related
data...

As the user selected orders from this box, the orders would get added to
the form below... for each order that is added there would be a series of
buttons that perfom some timekeeping functions (i.e., start time / end
time).... assume that the user selects 10 different orders... the form
would be required to scroll so that all ten orders with their respective
timekeeping buttons would scroll within the "sub form" ...

Any ideas ?

I take it you're upgrading an Access form?

One way to mimic this behavior is to create the "subform" as a
usercontrol that contains all the necessary controls. Then when the
user begins entering into the uc, raise an event to tell the main form
to add another usercontrol below the current one.

Thanks Steve...

I do not see a "subform" control....

Do you have to create your own somehow ?

I think you misunderstood my post, I said you can mimic MS Access's
subform functionality by creating a UserControl.
