Just inherited

[Ricardo]

Hi ALl,

Just inherited a FM Pro db and so trying to get the beast under my control!!!

in layout mode some character text appears over all the buttons (see below)

<<[xx]>>

now im not sure if this is just a way of numbering/indexing the buttons as from the previous developer or is it something to do with the devlopment/programming side and if so WHAT?

it is not specified to carry out any scripts or functions and is not visable in browse mode!

thanks for your time,

ricardo.

Is [xx] a field name? If so, they have been using a field name, set in layout as a merge field, over the top of a button to change the name of the button - depending on field contents. If nothing is appearing in Browse mode, then field [xx] is empty.
