I also suggest using 3 pages.
If you are good with HTML, export the data in a nice HTML format and slap webbrowers (lille IE) on your pages. It will be attractive and scrollable.

Question
Fox 9 --Please reommend an Approach
I am planning a screen/form which I believe I know how to design. I would ask some advice from those more experienced than I to point me to the easiest fastest way to build it.
Here is what is needed.
I want the user to put in a single id number and than have a screen come up with three windows on it. Each window draws from a seperate table. The 3 tables sharing a common field name and having the same value in that common field. Example--Patient number= 2120 One window shows 2120's medications the other the clinical finding from 2120's last visit the other all lab results for patient 2120.
I want the user to be able to click on any one of the windows have it maximize and be able to scroll up and down the information contained in that window via a side scroll bar as there could be a lot there to see.
What would be the most direct route to accomplish this?
Just so You know
For those that have helped me in the past/present/future--I have volunteered to help a missionary type Medical Practice which cares for the population of indigent women in Southern California area.This is a very difficult life and most are ready to quit. I want to bring them closer to paperless so that things will be easier and it can continue. I deal with donated computers etc. No money to speak of--just State of California delays/ IOU's etc.
Thank You for all of your help !!
Thank You
Dan

I would say it is also important how the above mentioned three tables are composed. The way of displaying info should depend on the structure of your data. User requirements are very important, as well.
Theoretically, if there are just memo fields (and patientID) in above three tables then even three separate windows would be OK.
Three page pageframe is probably better solution but some mechanism which allows to zoom some more detailed information into a separate window would probably help when reading it.
Also the time dependency in your data is very important. To display very old lab results together with today's medication is probably not a good practice. (But it can be requested sometimes...)
So, start from the data model which should cover all user requirements and then start thinking how to display such data in a manner which helps users to find everything they need.
There is one scrollable container, so to say, in foxpro: The grid. Those three forms or three pageframes, could all contain grids displaying the table.
And instead of an input/textbox asking for a patientID you could also show patients in a grid and let users choose one via clicking on it, either relations or an index on the patient ID and a SET KEY TO is all that is needed to position related tables on a certain patients' data.

Think want I want to do is have a form with a three tab page frame on it. Want users to put in patients last name in to a text box I think. Than have a grid pop up with all names with that last name(Query or View??). User picks the name she wants.
The page frame than loads with that patients information found in the different tables. A different table assisgned to each tab on the page frame--Visits/Labs/Demogra
What is the best way to accomplish that??
Wish I new HTML but I dont . Captian C had a good idea.

The approach is great.
You should have an interavtive textbox where whenever the user types in a character (or the whole word), you filter in the grid below. In the grid there is a button: View Profile or Summary or whatever. This button opens a form.
If you have FrontPage, put the text in a layout you wish. You can generate html by many ways in FoxPro. I recommend making a string and then STRTOFILE. You can then tell the WebBrowser Control to go there. WebBrowser.Navigate("path\
All you need to know in HTML are:
<html>
<body>
<table>
<p>
<span>
<div>
<font>
<b>
<u>
<i>
You can start by www.pageresouce.com
Or better yet.
Design the page in Frontpage. Put the details you want in the page for example:
//PatientName//
//PatientAddress//
Format the HTML and save it to an HTML file (.htm)
In FoxPro load the file into memory by FILETOSTR. You will have it in a string variable. Replace the fields you wish:
cHTML = STRTRAN(cHTML,"//PatientNa
cHTML = STRTRAN(cHTML,"//PatientAd
= STRTOFILE(cHTML,"myhtml.ht
You will now have the HTML file with the right data and order your browser to open it
oPage.WebBrowser.Navigate(
So all your design will be done in FrontPage or any other web page development tool.
To show you an example with a grid only showing records of a certain customer visit the samples:
Go to menu -> Tools -> Task Pane
Choose the "Solution Samples" from the Task Pane Toolbox
search for 'child records', you'll find the sample "Display child records from a relationship"
Once you choose an order from the upper grid, the lower grid shows the orderitems. Besides that you can navigate between customers.
If you imagine customers as patients and orders as patients detail data and you could not only navigate between patients but simply enter their name to find them, then have more grids and each one in the tabs of a pageframe, that would be a solution, wouldn't it?
Bye, Olaf.

I would make a pageframe with 3 pages instead of 3 forms. Since you need scrolling I would put a scrollable container on it. VFP does not have a scrolling page or a scrolling container. You will have to get one from http://www.codeplex.com/Re
