Two unrelated continuous forms on one form? 1

Does anyone know if it is possible to have one form displaying data from two different tables, both in continuous form style? The two underlying tables are unrelated, but I want to display both side-by-side at the same time, and allow users to scroll through both (independently). I don't think it's a subform issue because the two tables are not related. Is there possibly a way to insert something like a page break (with the two continuous forms on separate pages), but still show both pages at the same time (side by side)?

I have searched through both the Access forms and VBA tips, to no avail.

Thank you.
 
Create a form for each table and them includ them both as subforms in a third form (with no recordsource) (used as a container only).

:)
 
Boy, I was trying to make this much more complicated than it actually was! Once I made my subforms into continuous forms, it worked fine. I had only ever used subforms for a one-to-many relationship (not unrelated tables). Thanks, simco, for pointing out the simplicity of the situation.
