Sorry about breaking into the coversation. I am brand new to this site and forum and have had trouble even getting to the point where I could post anything.

What I have is a database with fields for the address, city, state. In layouts other than the entry layout the type for the state field always comes up with the same formatting as in the entry layout although the other layouts have different sizes and faces for the state field. Filemaker Help says when you change the format in the browser mode that this format will appear in all other layouts. Well, I can change formats in browser mode in the entry layout only. For instance, when I am in browser mode for a label, I can't change the formatting which makes sense. In layout mode, any change in the state field formatting is ignored and the type face and size defaults to that in the Entry layout
