Form design

[maw230]

I've attached a picture of my form with all of its subform glory, and I'm not a big fan of how it looks. I've tried playing with the properties, but am in need of some assistance on how to clean up the look a little.
Basically, I would like it if the user could not tell that it's a big pile of subforms. More blended looking.

Withing each subform, set the record selector, navigation button and scroll bar properties to No. I would also hide the record selector in the main form.

In form properties of each form change "record selctors" to no also do same for "navigations buttons" and "dividing lines"
this will remove the obvious lines and buttons around each subform. also change the back colour of each form to the same colour.
Then it will look like just one form.

Muuuch better. Thanks. Is there a way to get rid of the subform borders that appear in the main form?

change subform boarder colour to same as back colour.

Just select the subform control (control on the main form which houses the subform) and select TRANSPARENT for the border. You will also need to set the SPECIAL EFFECT to FLAT from SUNKEN.
