Change orientation of form

[Alex]

A normal form shows the form header running left to right
across the page with the detail running left to right
below it.

Is there a way to have the form header running top to
bottom down the left side of the page, with the detail
running top to bottom (to the right of the form header)?

Thanks,
Alex.

Alex,

No.

What are you trying to do?

I want the records to run across the page instead of down
the page, because of a type of form I am setting up which
has to many fields to fit horizontally (so I want the
fields to run vertically down the page).

I was hoping there was a way to do this.

Alex.

Alex,

I'm afraid there's just no way to do it using standard Access controls. I
suggest taking a look at something like the Developer Express Quantum Grid
control (http://www.devexpress.com/?section=/products/ActiveX/XQuantumGrid).

I'm using this control at the moment, and by implementing multiple bands,
you can split the columns you would normally have in the horizontal plane,
and group them vertically.
