I have a layout which has ten 'pairs' of fields, a header field and an items field. The number of items can change for each pair and sometime i dont want them to show at all so i use sliding and all that works.

The only problem I have is that when it is more than a page i get half of the title field of page 1 and the 2nd half and the items on the 2nd page. How can i make it only show how fields, not just the top half and bottom half and ideally, only show the 'title' field of theres enough room for the 'items' field too?

Hi Dempsey,

I am having a few of the same issues. In some of my cases I've been able to work around it using merge fields and a "buffer" field that allows my user to add an extra return or two to shuffle the data up or down. At the end of the day however, it's a filemaker bug and there really is no work around. :D

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think a "buffer" field would really work for me as I'd have to have about 20 of them on the layout and ideally I wouldn't want to users to have to do anything and have it automated.

I think I might try and keep track of the number of lines currently used in a global field and decide to miss out a 'pair' of fields and hopefully that may work.
