I am sure this is NOT possible but I will ask anyway.

Is it possile to have records scroll across the screen instead of up and
down.

In other words, I want record number 2 to be to the RIGHT of record number 1
etc and not below it and to scroll right to left.

There's nothing for this in Access 97 & earlier. I don't know about the
later versions. Of course, you code code it all up manually using an unbound
form, if you really had to. Have 3 columns (say) of controls (in order to
display 3 records at a time.) Open the data in a recordset. Display the
first 3 records, in those 3 columns. When user clicks "scroll right", copy
the control contents from column 2 to column 1, then from column 3 to column
2, then display the next record in column 3. And so on...

HTH,

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

Quite simple to code and worth a try.

Thx.
