Field Scrolling in IWP

Featured Replies

Is there a way to get a field to scroll in IWP so that the entire contents are viewable -- without allowing the field to be modified?

In other words, I want a vertical scroll bar to appear on a field in a given layout and want the scroll bar to work, but I do not want the user to be able to modify the contents of the field from this layout.

I've been messing around with this for some time and I can't get it to work. Any workarounds or tricks would be welcome.

Thanks!

The way that I've been shown to do this in regular FMP--to set a calc field that equates to your base field--does not work in IWP (I just tried that out).

The only ideas that come to mind are:

1) Try to figure something out with Accounts & Privileges where the field is not modifiable. I haven't tested this.

2) Using scripts, transfer the data you want protected to a global field in which you don't care whether the data gets changed. Then display the global in your form. This entails scripting overhead (you've got to load the global each time the form is loaded), but it would spare the data.
