Jan,
It was you! Thanks. Could you send me a snippet of code to give me an idea how to start? That would be a blessing.

Translating reports to forms is always a challenge. But I use a variable listview with a check feature. Takes a bit of work but is very satisfying.

Someone named Jan from this list recommended it to me a while back. How I want this to look is indented. Model Number units Part Number pcs needed Location 1 pcs ckbox Location 2 pcs ckbox Etc Etc Part Number The above will be the transaction part. There will be a Header section with the order number. I am not sure the Var list view would do the trick.

Shipping then pulls the parts, checks the location on the report. Another person then enters the transactions into the DB. The report uses a view based on six tables. Goal: To duplicate the report on a form that will be used on a tablet out in the shop. The shipping personal will then be able to use a check box system to show the transactions. I want them to be able to enter the order number then this form will come up. I looked at a scrolling region but I cannot put a dbgrid inside a scrolling region. Any suggestions as to a good way to accomplish this? James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990
