krusader Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 I have a layout as "View as List" with a header...in the header I have two Global fields in which the user can input info to do a search... the problem is that the buttons work in the header but data cannot be entered in fields that are located in the header... is there a way to activate these fields using a script or an FM trick??

Kurt Knippel Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 The header is a header and is not part of any record, so you cannot do any data entry in it. I do think that Filemaker should allow editing of global fields in the header, but since they are techincally part of a record (in this case every record) they are still bound by the record editing limitations.

JPaul Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 As Kurt correctly said, the header is a semi-dumb section of the layout then is not responding to many actions. Why you don't consider the opportunity to build a search-dedicated form and switching to list view after the search is performed ? You have an extra job, but the solution is more polished and elegant. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
