select which fields to display on a form

HI,

is it there a possibility of selecting which fields to have visible on
a form?
Up to now I've setup another form which has true/false toggles (one
for each field in question) on which I select which fields I want
visible. Then when I open the form in question the "openform"
subroutine checks which toggles have true values and sets the visible
property of the corresponding fields to true. So far so good...BUT I
want to compact the form so not to have gaps where the invisible
fields are... Any ideas?

Otherwise is it possible to dynamically (if this the correct term)
create a form? i.e. create a temporary form each time you choose which
fields to display?

Or is it possible to control by code the "show" option of the fields
in a Query?

Thanks in Advance

I have done this in a matter of speaking. If your fields are
conditional this is pretty easy. Let's say that if one is to be shown,
another will always be not shown. Then put on on top of the other....

I did that and it looks great on the form side. Just have to know what
you are doing on design side.

Hi I want to warn the user that changing the selected item in a pull-down will clear some data he has already entered in a file download box. I've tried using confirm() to return true or false with a line such as: onchange="return(confirm('proceed Yes or No')))" but it always stops the change.

I am trying to get the financial calculation on this to trigger whenever there is a change to select1. Right now, the user has to click on select2 to trigger the changes. Ideally, a change of select1 1. trigger the population of select2 (and set it initially to 0) 2. make the text fields disappear 3. trigger the financial calculation to reflect the select1 choice. Any help would be greatly appeciated !
