Problem with a Display field on a form

[Mike Grigsby]

Having a problem with a Display field on a form. I have the form layout set to 600px wide (have also tried setting the value cell to 600 wide). The display field is a field from a data file (String, 5000 characters). The problem is the layout width is not containing and wrapping the display field as it should be. Instead, it simply scrolls off the right of the screen. I can see that the prompt and comment cells have the layout width set, but the value cell is not. Here is a link to the screen shot:

Anything I can do to fix this? I tried following the template code but got lost.

Hi Mike,

If it is the same problem as what I had:
1) Make sure you are on NT 4.31 PR3,
2) Put on the "ALLOW XHTML" tick mark for ths field,
3) Format your Display field in HTML.

This worked for me.

Hope it helps.

Yes, I have can confirm all three of those things have been done.

Hi Mike,

AAH, I see the difference between your problem and the problem that I had.

All my display fields are dynamicly created in my procedure setup embed.

Your problem is with data from a field.

I think this might be the difference.

When I had mine as normal text it would span completely off the screen.
As soon as I formated it as html it worked.

Sorry I can't help you more.
