Show complete record in continuous forms

[szag via AccessMonster.com]

I have had the same issue for a while but don't know if there can be anything
done about it. Continous forms have a sloppy look when when you have too many
records to show on one page. Is there any kind of coding that can be done to
give functionality like a report has where records stay together. I know
reports and forms are apples and oranges but just wondering if there is a way
to give a form a better look and not show half of a record at the bottom when
it is opened up. I'm guessing not but if there are any ideas...

Thanks.

If your form has a fixed size you could use the pagebreak control on your
form. This will break the form into two pieces and gives the idea of a
report. But as you stated it's apples and oranges. Together you get something
'fruity' and it's up to you to make something tasty out of it ;-)

Pagebreaks will break up a record into parts, but I don't think it'll make
half a record from showing.

Each record is the same physical size, so I suspect the best you can do is to
size your form so that it displays X number of whole records and no part of a
record.

I think that's really your only option. Sorry!
