Not To Repeat the Labels

I'm working in the 'Detail' section of a form, adding controls to the
form. I want to design the form as a 'Continuous Form'.

I would like to know how can I have the label of a control to show
only once on top? Currently I have the lebel with every record.

*I know I can do this by placing the labels in the 'Form Header'
section, and the controls in the 'Detail' section. But don't know how
to do it when I want both in the 'Detail' section? Because I intend to
add tabs to the Detail section later.

Advice please? Thanks in advance.

What you want to do is not really feasible, AFAIK. The Form Header
section is intended for this purpose. Anything you put in the Detail
section is going to be repeated for every record. Although it may be
possible, through some elaborate coding, to hide the labels except on
the record that is currently displayed at the top of the continuous
form, the space allotted to those labels would still be present in all
the other records, even if that space appeared blank.

I'm not sure what you mean about adding tabs later, so I don't see how
what you're asking about the labels relates to that. Maybe if you
explain how you ultimately want it to look we can figure out a
reasonable solution.
