Can I hide duplicate values in an Access Form?
I know that it is easy to hide duplicate values of a field in a report, but
can you do the same in a form? I have a db where I assign different staff members to different tasks on various days. The form is sorted by staff member: can I just display their name for the first record, and leave a blank space for each subsequent record ?

Stephen -
You can use the form/subform capabilities. The main form would only have the staff member, and the linked subform would show the other fields. You can put the subform to the right of the staff name if that works better visually for your users. -- Daryl S "Stephen Raftery" wrote: I know that it is easy to hide duplicate values of a field in a report, but can you do the same in a form?

Can I hide duplicate values in an Access Form?
You could probably go to a lot of trouble with queries and code to get the
form to look as you have described. The simple and easy way is to use a form and subform. The main form is for the staff member, the subform shows the tasks for the person. Use a combo box in the main form to select the staff member and the subform will show all the tasks for that person.
