Discuss "Two Unrelated forms joined?" in the Microsoft Access forum.

Does anyone know how to make a "form" that is really 2 forms (unrelated information) displayed at once and seeming to the user only one form. I guess an example might be a datebook and contacts. They would be two forms but they would be joined as one big side by side form. If there is a better way to achieve this I am all eyes.

Access has a subform control which will allow you to do something like this. Create three forms: 1 blank, 1 with the "datebook" and 1 with the "contacts".

Then drag two subform controls to the blank form and set the source of them to the other forms you created.

I thought it might be something like that. Now all i have to do is figure out how to make a subform without a wizard ha ha.

Just drag the control onto the form, cancel out the wizard when it pops up and then manually edit the properties of the subform. However, the wizard is pretty easy to use. You may want to try it out at first.

Cool thanks Ill try it out

I apologize but I dont know what you mean when you refer to "controls" when you wrote just drag the controls into the form. are you talking about something from the tool box?

False alarm I figured it out. Thank you so much again.
