I *think* the printer driver's OK - the rest of the page (and other layouts) print just fine. I did a kludge workaround for this print run - just added the pertinent dates (they only change every 3 or 4 months) as text in the proper place. I didn't try the PDF idea before adding the kludge - but it's a useful idea for the next time this happens. Thanks!

I have 2 date fields which appear in Layout and Browse modes, but which disappear in Preview Mode or when I print a page from Browse mode. The fields have data auto-entered in them. They are not the results of any lookups or calcs. Date formatting is irrelevant - I tried it both with leaving the date formatted as entered and with formatting the dates a specific way; neither format previewed or printed. I moved the fields to the center of the form to see if it were a margins problem; it's not. I checked to see if printing were turned off in the Sliding/Printing panel; it's not. I checked to see that the text color is different from the background - it is. I have no idea why these fields won't display in Preview and print.

Not sure what the problem was, but I "solved" it. I just started over from scratch, and this time it worked. Obviously I messed up some step on the first one. At any rate, it's working now. Sorry for all the bother - I probably should have done this first. But thanks for the willingness to help.

The value list is defined to use values from a field in a related table. I don't see any global markups in the field containing the values. FWIW, I have an almost identical situation in another database - except there, the drop-down works. Confusing. I've gone through the setups to compare them - they seem identical, but (obviously) I'm missing something.

I have a field which uses a value list drawn from the records in a related table. All the items in the list display perfectly if I format the field as radio buttons or check boxes, but nothing appears if I select drop-down list or pop-up menu. Clearly, the relationship is good and the value list is properly populating - what's wrong with the display?
