=> Switchboard used with Form Tabs

[Rhonda Fischer]

Hello,

I would like to put the submenus of my switchboard onto
a tab control could this work, with a nested menu
structure ie. a few sub menus?

My first tabbed page is called 'Deliveries'
with a menu structure of:
-> Vehicle Tracking System
-> ASDA
->.... <Nested menu>
-> [Form displayed]
-> SAFEWAY
->...
-> [Form displayed]
-> TESCO
-> Discrepancies nested menu to form displayed

OR do I need to manually create the first page of my
menu on the Deliveries Tab and then somehow blank this
menu out to display the next level of menu?

Can you suggest the best approach?

Thank you very much.

Cheerio
Rhonda

If the nested menu items are the same for all vendors you serve on the
form, I would simply use the Vendor name in a combo box, and leave the
sub-menus the same. Then, when calling the [Form displayed], I'd pass it
the Vendor name to display the right dataset.
If on the other hand the submenus are vendor-dependent, I would use
subforms for the menu selections, and put these subforms on the sub-tabs
which would then have vendor names. Sub-forms would make it easier to
alter vendor-specific forms should you need this later.

Cheers,
Pavel
