Ben , Just out of curiosity, is this filled out by the employee or by the employer.  I only ask because I have worked a job where this would look very different depending on who provided the feedback.  

There were many of us on site in the same role and some of those on site would take "shortcuts" in their work.  Our supervisors were evaluated on the quantity of work done but not the quality.  Additionally, my supervisor did not know how to do my work.

Matt , I understand what you mean and absolutely agree. I work for a relatively small manufacturing plant producing specialty vehicles, so this is meant more for a superior to fill out regarding their subordinates. That is also why there is a line separating the supervisor from reviewer because there is a possibility there is a difference. There are absolutely people with subordinates who don't know how to do that subordinates job but they are expected to be able to answer these questions. It applies to the supervisors on the floor overseeing the grunt workers all the way to the top where my CEO fills it out for the COO.

I have a couple of forms where I show and hide controls depending on what I am doing.  You might be able to do something similar where you only display the active textbox using label clicks as the trigger.  When you click on the label, that textbox would become visible and the rest would be made not visible.  The labels could also move together so all of the topics are visible but only the active response is visible.  That would shorten the form and expose only one working field at a time.

I like that idea. I will probably try that since hopefully I can do it faster. Im envisioning that would be done with size properties of the controls and detail section right? I haven't had the chance to work the computer thought process for my idea so I dont even know if it can be done with its current structure.

When I click on label5, I make textbox5 visible and all others not visible.  I vertically position the controls using the control.top property.  Something like: textbox5.top = 2800.

Thanks for sharing this, Ben. First, nice work getting something functional in place. If it's doing the job and your coworker likes using it, that's already a win. That said, from a design standpoint, I probably wouldn't build this with a separate field for every single question. What I would do instead is set it up more like a survey or quiz database with a Questions table and an Answers table. Then each evaluation would store one record per answer tied back to the question and the employee review. That makes the system a lot more flexible because you can add, edit, reorder, or remove questions without having to redesign the table structure every time management changes the form, which we all know they love to do.

The other advantage is that once you go that route, you can support all kinds of question types much more easily, like short text, long text, numeric ratings, yes/no, multiple choice, and so on, all in the same framework. So instead of fighting a giant wide table and a huge form full of bound controls, you'd be working with a structure that can grow with you. What you've built definitely works, but if you plan on expanding it or making it easier to maintain long term, I think a normalized survey-style design would be the better way to go. I've actually had something like this on my list for a future Developer lesson because there are a lot of useful techniques wrapped up in it, so you may have just bumped it higher on the list.

Come on Richard, you're killing me lol. Like I said, it works, he loves it, I always hated it but didn't know a better way (still don't fully). Now I have to buy your survey seminar and hustle through the developer videos (I'm not very patient) so I can see what you end up putting out. What makes the structure you describe difficult for me to fully understand without seeing is currently the answers are set up as note fields so the supervisor can type in examples and details specific to the employee and question. Having predetermined answers sounds great to me but I'm not sure everyone else would be happy with it. This originated in an excel file and is still used mostly from that because ppl here don't like change. I keep trying to push the move because operating a business of this size out of excel seems insane to me, anyway, I can't wait to see what you put out. Thank you.

Ben here ya go: Questionnaire
