Default Unusual Request

Is it possible to enter data into a form that scroll vertically
left to right....

I have a client who'se data forms (on paper) are written left to right in a
grid and then they wish to type directly into a form?

I said I doubt it, but you never know....

Many thanks

Vertically is up and down.

Horizontally is left to right.

I don't understand what you're asking - the request seems selfcontradictory!

If you want a form that "scrolls" horizontally... it won't be at all easy. You
could use a (very wide, 22" is the max) unbound form with a horizontal
scrollbar and textboxes or other controls, with VBA code to migrate data to
and from the table, but it will be tricky.
