Generally, when you have more information on one form than will fit on the screen, the best solution is to use the tab control and split the data up using some logic to determine what goes on each tab.

Page breaks can also be used in a form as an alternative to a tab control. I tend to use the tab control more often though. If you use page breaks, you can add buttons on your form to go to a particular page. In the OnClick event of your button you would add this:
Me.GoToPage (2)
The above would of course take you to the 2nd page of your form.

Hi Jim
I used a blank form and inserted a page break and it worked so there is somthing on my form preventing it from working.
I am not familiar with the Tab control.
The form would be split int into two Top and bottom.

Page breaks are usually for reports but I have a form that is to big for the screen and I can't reduce any further without loosing some information it's rather a complex form and thought a page break might be the solution. With a good screen resolution no problems but there are a few laptops in the mix with low resolution 1300 x ----. I will play around a see what happens. It's getting late here so will try again tomorrow
