Continuous Form (ms Access 2003)

Question

I am displaying the results of a query in a continuous form. The query can generate a variable number of fields. I have been looking at ways to suppress non-active fields through setting their visible properties to No, however, a gap still appears where these fields are in the displayed form.

Is there any way I can push fields together to remove such gaps (when fields are not in use)?

I could manually create a new form in VBA for each query but that might seem excessive if there was an easier way.

Answer 1

One possible way is to join fields together in a string in the query itself so that only one field for provided for display on the form.

Unfortunately Continuous Forms are a bit of a mish mash, and as a result have some interesting side effects. For instance although you can have different values per row if the field is bound, as soon as you unbind it, every row is the same for that field.
