Hello, how can I make each record on a form show separately and all records
on one or more than one pages with each page having a number of columns.'

thanks
 
For the first part of your question, set the default view (Properties >
Format tab) of the form to Single Form.
I suspect, though, that you are talking about reports. Form are for
displaying and working with data. Reports are for printing. Group the
report by a field (Tools > Sorting and Grouping). In Properties, try setting
Group Keep Together by page. If you need more assistance you will need to
provide some details.
 
Hello Bruce,
I have created a report and added columns to it but I cannot work with that
data. I would like to be able to show it in a form. I can use any table but
interface should be like Outlook "Contacts" (contacts grouped together in
boxes and columns). Thanks
 
I'm afraid I don't have a good suggestion for emulating the look of Outlook
contacts. There is no built-in way of which I am aware to arrange the data
in columns. Continuous forms will arrange the records vertically, but in a
single column. Somebody else may have a solution, but will need some details
of how your database is set up. It is not like Word where somebody can
describe creating a table, then leave you to plug information into the table
cells. Without knowing your database structure it will be very difficult for
anybody to offer concrete solutions.
