information about the form.

ISSUE:
1. You can scroll through a list of form objects and have
important Object Definition
information display on the screen for that object. Objects in
this list with invalid formulas are in red, objects with valid
formulas are in blue, and objects without formulas are in black.
2. You can sort the list of form objects by page number, by
object type, by the creation order, by the Tab Order, or only
objects with formulas.
3. You can quickly view formulas on that object. In the View
Formula dialog, you can see all the formulas on that object at
once, or individually. You can even print them out.
4. The main screen also shows how many objects are in the form
as well as how many objects can be linked to databases. This is
helpful when trying to determine what type of database to link
to. Every database has a limit to the number of fields that can
be linked to one database/table. This number varies among the
different database types.
5. It tells you how many formulas you have - Invalid, Valid,
and Independent. This is helpful
when you are trying to track down invalid formulas and aren't
sure how many you have.
6. You can quickly view information on your links. The Data
Links dialog will also point out
form objects that are not the same format as the database field
they are linked to. The lines in the linked form object list are
RED for invalid formats, GRAY for not linked, and CYAN for
correct links.
7. Another popular feature is the ability to create a custom
report to document your form. You can select what form
information you want from a list, then have it either printed or
saved to a DOS text file. This is helpful for documenting links,
and formulas, etc.
