thanks jason,
so basically the insert record form needs to be for a joint insertion. i.e. a couple making the application.
so in the insert record page that dataassist creates i need it to be first name etc but one side of page for first applicant and other half for second applicant. also i would require a next button at bottom as the page could become very long with the form fields that i need. could you advise on this?
hope that is better.
thanks again mate for your help
