Continuous Form Tricks

Is there a way to have a continuous form with an object in the detail section that would expand and contract on click without expanding the object in every detail section of the form?

In other words, could one have a section that, when a button was clicked in the detail area, expanded and contracted it's size in only the current records detail area (and not the detail areas of all the other records which are visible as well)?

If anyone could find a way to do this I am sure the code would be quite interesting to say the least. If I were you I would consider a popup form that would take the focus with the appropriate record etc. allowing you to see that 1 and only control. I did try a few things but I have tried this unsuccessfully several times now over the years.

What about a memo field in the table that has it's can grow property on the form set to true, whose width is set to one character wide and is filled with blanks?

Nope, nevermind. Can Grow only works in Print Preview and when Printing.
