Ideas on form design wanted

[Supremus]

G'day,

Thanks David. The problem is that I need a lot of info for each job, including pickup point, drop off point, special instructions and a couple of other things.

However, yoour idea made me think that it might be practical to put limited info in each drivers column and my mate could click on the job and bring up a list box (or something) to display further info about the job. I'll see my mate tomorrow and discuss it with him.

Thanks

Peter.

You could double-click on any job to get the details.

G'day David,

Yes, but I believe that you can't have a click and double click events together on the same item so I'd have to make different arrangements. Not a major problem.

Thanks.

Peter.

Just pop up a textbox when you click on an item. You could have different views. this is just the overal view for drivers. you coud have another for jobs, and another for locations (distance). you want to know that each job gets done by the end of the day, and which jobs are still out. if problems arise, you need to re-classify to get things corrected.

There is already code on the forum (and other places) for a floating textbox. The one I use floats over a cell, and is the same size as the cell, but you could even have a separate form pop up, like a 3x5" card with all the info.
