Default Creating a multiple pagebreak form

Hi,

Following an advice from earlier on I am trying to create a multiple
pagebreak form. I have about 8 form that all relate to one table. I am
trying to put all these forms on a long form and am trying to use pagebreaks
as I wish to be able to navigate from one form to another. ( see thread
"Linking multiple forms to one record only "for an extended explanation of my
problem)
My problem is that after 57cm the page stops and doesnt allow me to extend it
in height.
What am I doing wrong?

Please help.

This problem is driving me up the wall!

You're not doing anything wrong. Forms cannot be larger than 57cm.

Try using a tab control instead, with each form on a separate tab.

thanks for your reply it is making me feel better!

I thought about the tab control but if I remember well what I read about it
it says that you cant chance the background colour of the tabs and it look
quite blank like this. Is that right?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "it look quite blank like this".

Stephen Lebans has a sample at http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm that will
let you set the colour of tabs.
