Continuous Form Within Continurous Form: Functional Equivalent?

[(PeteCresswell)]

I've got a DB where a single bond can have many issuers.

So far, so good.... just have a "Single" form for the bond info
and a "Continuous" form that shows info for each issuer.

The trouble begins with an issuer having a "Country" property -
such that a single issuer can have many countries. Ditto
"Dealers".

I guess I could have a continuous subform or a listbox that shows
all the issuers - and then refresh another area on the parent
form to show the detail for the currently-selected issuer.

But what I'd really like to do is let the user see the info for
all the issuers at a single glance.

Only thing I can think of is some implementation of the TreeView
control - where the Issuer's name appears at the top of a
hierarchy, and the various properties appear in sub nodes below
it.


Anybody else been here? Is there another solution to show
something like:
----------------------------------
Bond
Name=ABC
Issuers
Name=Smith
Countries
United States
Great Britain
South Africa

Name=Jones
Countries
Mexico
Bermuda

Name=Anderson
Countries
Canada

Dealers
Name=JPMorgan
Name=Stanley
Name=GeroldBank

You can use datasheet view on a form with a continuous form and the
continuous subform will display within the datasheet. I don't know
if you can embed this datasheet form as a subform inside another
form.
