NOTE: You can always change any aspect of your Form Template (the form you create/edit in design mode), such as deleting, adding, editing, moving, resizing, etc. fields.
Editing a field:
30: Editing a field is very simple. Just select the arrow tool from the pallet and click on the field you wish to edit (or delete, move, resize, etc.) You can now move it anywhere on the form by dragging it. Or, you can resize it by grabbing any one of the handles and drag it to its new size. If you want to edit its field attributes, (font, font size, style, field name, etc.), just select the option "Edit Field Attributes" under the "Fields" menu. From here you can change any of its attributes. If the field you are editing is a calculated field, you can also easily edit its formula in the same manner after clicking the Formula button. When you are finished changing your field attributes, click the "OK" button.
Renumbering a field:
31: The option "Renumber Field" under the "Fields" menu will renumber the selected field to a number you specify. This option is useful if you have created several fields and discover that you have forgotten to put a field in where it should be. To do this, create a new field. Choose the "Renumber Field" option and type the number of the field where the new field should go. The field is then renumbered and the fields that follow the one you've changed are renumbered (1 is added to each field thereafter). The order in which the fields are numbered is very important because this is the order in which the field data will be input into the form during data entry/edit or when importing a text file!
Adding help to a field:
32: Each non-calculated field can have its own unique help screen. When one non-calculated field is selected, you can add/edit its own help screen. Just select the "Edit Field Help..." option from the "Fields" menu. You will be presented with a dialog. Text can be typed in or a text file can be read into the help by clicking the Import button.
Adding choices to a field:
33: Each non-calculated field can have its own unique choices dialog. When one non-calculated field is selected, you can add/edit its own choices. Just select the "Edit Field Choices..." option from the "Fields" menu. You will be presented with a dialog.
NOTE: What's in the Individual Field Choices Edit Dialog:
The "Sort for Add" check box is initially checked. With this option checked, every time a new choice is added to the choice list or an existing choice is edited, it is placed alphabetically in the list.
The choice list shows all choices in the list. Clicking on one choice in the list will highlight the "Edit" and "Delete" buttons. Double-clicking a choice in the list will allow you to edit the selected choice.
The "Edit" button, click this button to edit a selected choice.
The "Delete" button, click this button to delete a selected choice.
The "Add New" button, click this button to add a new choice to the list.
34: Select the "Salesman" field in the form and then select the "Edit Field Choices" option from the "Fields" menu. Add a few names to the list and click the "OK" button to save your list.
