BIG table

[KirstyB]

I have an interview which a research nurse completes straight into the computer which is made up of 621 fields. I wanted to be able to pull certain fields from the interviews into another layout for the analyst to view this would be two tables of roughly 300 fields each...I seem to be running into a size problem that I can only display so many fields horizontally in my table then it puts in a carriage return and enters the next set of fields so I end up with my data for each interview being split across 4 lines rather than being on one line. This is not only annoying in fm but also causes problems when I try to export the data to a statisticall package. Is there anyway around this?

Why not change the width of your layout? Or are you max-ed out? Are you using Table View?

I am useing table view, its not that the table is to big for the screen (which it is) as I can use the scroll bar to run along but even that doesnt let me go far enough. I am happy for the end user to have to scroll but it seems that there is a limit to how far you can scroll to...any suggestions?

There is a 110" limit on layout width. Resize columns or decrease font size.

mmm tried this and had some very funnythings happen. i was attemting to change the width of the colums and it started to affect another user who was enetring data into that field but in a different layout...it seems to throw them out of the other layout and give an error message about the field size not being correct! Although I was changing the field width in a completely different layout.

Have just tried this again and even reducing the column size to only show one character I still dont get anywhere nere the full data being presented...maybe I need to completely rethink what I am doing
