I'm looking for some advice on the best way to add columns to a record form. I have one where there are many fields, too many to display with the default one field per row presentation. I've played around with several methods within my current abilities to try and add a column, but none have rendered an acceptable result.

I know I can just move labels and controls around to different rows in design mode, but this does position the fields correctly, nor does it code the cell borders that are needed. I've also tried inserting a column in design mode, and this looks like it work work fairly well, except that I have one textarea control that needs some space and needs to span the columns. So, I tried editing the HTML directly and adding another table after the textarea field, but this got all the column boundaries out of sync and basically looked like an amature hack (me) had got in over my head.

So, I'm thinking I could use the help of somebody who knows what they're doing. What would be the best way for me to go about this?

Thanks,
Dave

My apologies for adding noise to the forum. I actually looked a bit closer and found that I could split the cell and keep all the fomatting in place... It's all good.
