Hi Erwin That's what I thought. But then you could have a main form with a listbox with the questions themself (and perhaps a summary of the answers) listed and, say, 10 questions visible at a time. And a subform or popup which displays the selected question in full and editable. /gustav >>> Erwin.Craps at ithelps.be 30-12-2004 12:09:54 >>> No, not one question at the time. That's just the point. I first proposed that, but after discussing this with the customer, we decided that this goes way to slow for data entry at location with a tablet pc in the hand walking around.

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. /gustav >>> Erwin.Craps at ithelps.be 30-12-2004 11:16:26 >>> 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 Erwin Craps Zaakvoerder www.ithelps.be/onsgezin
