eYz Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 A list layout with leading summary. When data are changed, the summary part won't update unless I leave the current table and come back again. What am I doing wrong here? Didn't remember having this problem in FMP 6.
eYz Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Actually the leading summary won't update until a new find is made. Even the "Refresh Window" command doesn't update the summary fields. This is very weird! Any idea why?
MoonShadow Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 When you change your data (or add a record) you may be changing your sort order? And your sort order must exactly match your layout parts (break field). Just a thought ...
eYz Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Sorting has never made sense to me in FM. Do layouts still have their own sort orders in FM7 as in FM6? If so, how on earth am I supposed to find out what order is being stored in a layout. Anyway I don't believe this has anything to do with my problem. I use a script to open the specific layout. The script includes a sort command. And this is a leading summary but not a sub-summary part. I don't see why sorting order mattters.
Vaughan Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Layouts do not "store" sort orders. Summary fields only display correctly in Preview mode.
