>>I am doing a large inventory program that will require more than 3 screens of info. The user would like to move between the screens at will and be able to add/edit items from any screen. I have created a basic search/add form with all the key fields at the top (Manufacturer, Inventory Class, Part Number...) that allows the user to find a part using any of the key fields. It would be great if I could then just lay the other forms over top of the 1st form, with the key fields still visible, and have both active at the same time. Am I dreaming?

Thanks Larry and the rest of you,
I think I should be able to get what I need from your help
