Scroll event???

[BodiKlamph]

Hi,

I'm transitioning from an Excel sheet to an Access dbase.

In Excel the user could "freeze panes", but that doesn't exist in
Access so what I've done is create 2 subforms (continuous forms
view): The 1st one has the first 5 columns and the 2nd one has the
next 20 columns.

Thing is, I want the subforms to scroll together. I've manged to link
them somewhat using the AbsolutePosition property (doesn't work for
new records though; if you have a solution to that then that'd cool,
too).

Ideas?

thx,
Bodi

Actually, it is possible to freeze columns in Access.
Position the cursor where you want the columns to freeze, then from the menu
bar select Format and Freeze Columns. Then save the form.

The subform wizard will also allow you to connect the subforms so that they
will "scroll" together. Milton Purdy "Golfinray"

Thx for the suggestion. That only works for Datasheet View. I'm
using Continuous Form View

How? Are you referring to the Link Child/Master fields? I can't get
it to do as I need. The records aren't related, per se; rather, they
*are* the same record.
