Basic field defenition on form
ScreenPrint001.gif
Everything You see HERE - SHOULD be available AT THE FORM LEVEL (ALL TABS)
ScreenPrint002.gif
IF a SET has FIELD RULES - they OVERRIDE DATABASE RULES
IF a FORM has FIELD RULES (WHICH is MISSING) - they OVERRIDE ALL OTHER RULES
HOW do I DEFAULT a value at the FORM LEVEL? Without CODE?
more problems found - v10.5

Also, I HAVE NO CLUE - how that DATE got in there in the first place (see me copy to clipboard?) it just magically showed up there..
I hadn't defined it before as it's name WAS DATE - SO that tells me the dictionary or where-ever this information is stored - IS NOT KEEPING up to date - THUS all the problems I am finding with the program..
Had a problem, I THINK because the field in invoice header was DATE - went to put some defaults in the set descriptions of the tables - kept saying field not found DATE
change field to Inv_Date - realigned all the forms (Shouldn't alpha be able to do this with it's backend?)
anyway, then selecting the invoice_header->inv_date alpha FAILS to put in the file qualifier->
as seen in this example...
BUGGGGGGGY
I THINK it would be nice to access THIS LOW LEVEL FIELD RULES from THE FORM as SHOWN in 1st Attachment..
#1 - Wouldn't have to have FIELD Defaults at set/table level (actually this would put them there)
how does this work on a network?
I REALLY think a form field should have some DEFAULTING/action just like the DATABASE FIELD RULES - it's kinda CRAZY to have to have a set to get different results (or coding, if possible)
I really have to pick up some books... I'm liking the program, but NOT THE FLAKYNESS - VERY FLAKY..
I'm seeing I can do alot more with this than Lotus, thus why I purchased.
I really wish ALPHA would look at lotus approach for the simpliciy of
JOINS Designer (ah brings me to another problem.. I will put up different thread joining on two fields) as alphas - Stinks
Fill FIELD - right click a column to POPUP the UPDATE Dialog with the field already at the TOP(Selected field to update) and Default Value of Record Sitting on
SIMPLICITY of IMPORTING
SIMPLICITY of EXPORTING
AND ABOVE ALL
FIX a calculated field or make a special FORM FIELD that can contain a value/text that FIRES on CHANGE - if the change is PROGRAMMED, Calculated, or ENTERED
Here is YET ANOTHER BUG...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14979559/For...aderFooter.swf
After I removed the FOOTER the code worked perfectly..
Added Header/Footer to FORMS and BROKE THEM.. WOW - Can I get 11.xx to TEST????
ah, YET another BUG
seems like can't find enough.. (I guess because it's a date field or is it because it's in view mode, then clicking on the field first)
