Chris, creating a continuous form in VB is going to be really difficult. I've never actually tried to do this myself. In fact, to be honest, whenever I'm working with a VB program and need to do any kind of database connectivity aside from the most BASIC read/writes, I almost always try to use (or talk the client into) a Microsoft Access solution. You could try using a DBGrid or ListView control to accomplish what you want, but they're not going to give you the level of control that Access would. I'll cover these two controls in a future VB lesson.
