One of the modules I am working on is for trucking recruiting and I am not 
sure if it can be implemented the way I have envisioned it.

When a truck driver calls us to apply for a job, we of course enter their 
relevant information into the system, name, address, phone, date of birth, 
etc.  Included in that is their work history for the past ten years.  It is 
the work history that I am having a problem with.

We basically get the following information:  Employers name, address, city, 
state, zip, phone, fax, start date, end date, and reason for leaving.  

I was wanting to display this information in a subfile like the following, 
with up to two employers per page:



EMPLOYER NAME: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
ADDRESS:       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
CITY:          XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  ST: XX
PHONE:         XXXXXXXXXX        FAX:      XXXXXXXXXX
START DATE:    XXXXXXXX          END DATE:   XXXXXXXX
REASON FOR LEAVING:   XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


However, when I try to setup the subfile it errors out telling me that I am 
overlaying the fields, or something like that....so I started thinking that 
maybe a subfile wasn't the best way to do this....

I am open to suggestions or ideas that someone else may have....it would be 
nice to see several employers at once.

the other thought I had was display the name and dates of empoyment in a 
subfile and allow the recruiter to select an entry to drill down to the 
detail...but since I have never done selections within a subfile that might 
be getting beyond my abilities.
