The UI designer obviously knows little or nothing about Access, and I question their UI design qualifications as well. I personally would not want to browse *anything*, including a continuous form, that spanned the entire dataset. The whole point of the UI is to provide a means for getting where you want to go without having to wade through everything you DON'T want!! Use a treeview, if nothing else!

We actually have such a filter control already, but the UI designer considers it valuable for usability to have a browse control that can span -- somehow -- the entire dataset, so I'm trying to puzzle out a way to provide one. peace, Chris Jeris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGsQUJ5ICCNV0oGWARAvFJAJ9ShW975qdaIsjRMaYSwcjZRzhW+gCeMF7x Og0j40JOX2lDPafK/G7KroU= =mA42 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
