Displaying the same field on multiple tabs on one form
« on: January 12, 2009, 01:21:01 PM »
Hi,

I have a order entry form with many options on a variety of tabs. As the user clicks on each tab I want them to be able to see some of the same fields like customer,name,order # on all the tabs. If I add a field more than once it generates duplicate routines.

Since there is no way to put data above the tabs I fudge the answer by adding a form to the netweb page above the data entry form to hold the constant data.

Is there any easier way of showing the same field on a number of tabs?

yes, just make sure each form field has a unique "user equate".
If you have that then you can have the same field on the form multiple times.

Cheers
