From: sam on 26 Mar 2010 17:19 Hi All, How do i insert a table in footer section of a split form? Is it possible? I am designing a search button with some textboxes in the header section of a split form and I want the results to be displayed at the bottom of the search criteria, so basically in footer section. How can i do this? Thanks in advance
From: Maurice on 26 Mar 2010 18:07 Hi Sam, Have you tried adding a table in the footer of a split form? If you have you would have seen that it isn't actually the footer where it would be placed. The split form is a nice feature as long as you don't want to do anything special with it. When something is added in the footer of that form you will see that you get the following situation; a header-data-your footer and finally below that you would get the datasheet which belongs to the splitform section. Not only does that look wrong but it loses the functionality of what the splitform is used for namely a two way view of a form as in single view combined with datasheet view. For what you want you need to setup your own form with the definitions you are looking for so basically a blank for with a header where you can put your searchoptions and a detailsection where you can put your output based on your searchcriteria. just my 2 cts... -- Maurice Ausum "sam" wrote: > Hi All, > > How do i insert a table in footer section of a split form?
