tabs

[Gambler]

In MS Access, Alpha V, Delphi, etc.... there is a way to display long tables (a/k/a long pages) using a "tab" command. Basically this command sets up a new window (or frame) inside your main screen so that you can place additional fields for the user. The user then clicks on the tab to view these fields. The use of tabs helps eliminate the need for users to scroll pages.

In fmp, I see there are tabs being used in many functions (e.g. define fields (options), there are tabs used for "Auto-Enter", "Validation" and "Storage".

Is there an ability in fmp to create similar tabs to offer the user a different view of the data?

Thank you.

Sure. A tabbed section of a layout in FM can be implemented with two separate layouts showing different fields in that section. The tabs are just buttons that change layouts.
