Hi Erwin

First, isn't this an AccessD topic?

Then, couldn't you use a continuous form where you display one question
at a time?
If so, you could define the type of question (yes/no, amount, etc.),
the question itself etc. dynamically.

Hi
 
I developing an app for a tablet pc, that will be uses by an expert to
estimate real estates.
The target is that the expert gets out his tablet pc in the building
and
starts clicking predifined answers to descibe the estate.
Additional comments per answer must be posible (example wooden floor =
yes, comment= slightly damaged)
For reasons of speed and overview the several questions and respective
answers need to be on a minimum of forms to avoid form switching
They now use a paper form.
The difficulty lies in the fact that questions and there
choices/answers
can vary over time.
So the only solution to achieve this looks like creating forms and
their
controls programaticaly on the spot.
 
So I got in to creating x number of controls on x number of forms, but
I'm tumbling in to problems like a limited form length, how to entry
code (programaticaly) after a control, etc etc.
 
The answers are not straigtforward yes/no but can be any of these
Yes/No (boolean)
amount (Euro)
number
simple text
long text (memo)
multiple choice (option group) 1 choice only
multiple choice (option group) multiple choices
 
So I'm getting scared not beeing on the right track here, or not
posible
in a reasonable time.
Some great webpage on this material would help me with some guidelines
how to achive this.
 
 
Thanks
