Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish and maybe you will have a better approach. I certainly hope so because what I'm doing isn't working!

I'm working on an application that interfaces with many types of hardware and can have multiple hardware devices on multiple communication ports.
I have a table that will have 1 or more hardware records per PC workstation. I have a few fields at the top of my form that contain the PC info (machine name, description), then I want a pageframe to be able to display the communication port information (driver, baud, data, parity, stop). I could have up to 10 records for each machine name where the machine name, description is the same but the comm. port info is different for each. Another field in each record holds the port number (which must be unique for each machine name... can't have to "1" ports for the same machine name).

Currently, I have pageframe1.page1 set up to display Comm Port 1 info, page2 to display Comm Port 2 info, and so on.

Is there a more efficient way to display my information? I realize that the optimal way would be to modify the database to have 2 tables instead of 1 for machine record setup, but that's not an option at this point.

Thanks for reading. Please ask questions if my explanation is confusing.
