Continuous Forms - Can it be done?

[Jeff Freilich]

Hi All

I have a continuous form with 3 textboxes that display information
frmo 3 fields

Level1Name
Level1Code
Level1Value


I also have a textbox called txtDisplay - I would like to set the
width of txtdisplay based on the value in Level1Value - is in essence
the txtDisplay textbox would be a different size in each record of the
continuous form - is that possible? I tried using OnCurrent, OnOpen
and nothing seems to isolate the ability to change the width of a
control (or any control elements) for a specific record on a
continuous form.

I also have another continuous for that has 4 buttons on it and I
would like to show/hide the buttons based on criteria in the record

Is what I am attempting to do possible with continuous forms or any
other solution? If you need any other info please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions

As always much appreciated

Thanks,

Jeff

Continuous Forms are really just one form replicated many times. Each "form"
does not have its own properties so getting them to do as you describe is
pretty much hopeless. I have no other solution to offer. I'm just full of
good news, right?
