Question : Access Forms

Currently all my forms in Access 2007 are displayed under tabs and I can view only one form at a time in run mode unless it's a pop-up form.

I am trying to set-up a side panel which will be used as a Main Menu and will be visible at all times. The forms that are opened will be displayed to the right of that panel.

How can that be done?

Answer : Access Forms

Access doesn't do this natively (i.e. this is no such concept as "frames" or "panels", as there is in other languages). You can build a form which holds two Subform controls. The leftside subform control would always show your Menu, while the Rightside control would show whatever form you wish. You can change the form that's shown in a Subform by setting the SourceObject:

Me.YourSubformControl.SourceObject = "frmCustomers"

this would show a form named "frmCustomers" ...
