Pop-up List is not wide enough for its contents

[joseppic]

Hi,

I'm selecting from a pop-up list which originates from a Value list (first and secondary fields).

The fields are not vast, however, the second field is not fully displayed in the list - it is cropped out of view - making it difficult to choose the right value.

How can I ensure the pop-up list displays my data (the value list) correctly.

take care,

J.

Hi J,

You will need to adjust the size of the field in Layout Mode to fit the information.

The field in the Layout seems ok, its just the popup - the primary field is an ID, the secondary field is a string of around 20 characters.

Any ideas?

OOps, you are right, sorry.

It just looks a bit weird as I was using the pop-up field in the layout to look like a button, now its a very wide button.

you can coverthe long field with a colored rectangle, put a button on top which has a script (go to field, hidden field). this way, the field (and popup) appears only when active.

the button can also be a copy of the field, not alowing entry and taken out of tab order

thanks, I've now hidden the part of the button under the field and this now works.
