contact mgt: getting rid of text

[shanan]

Apologies in advance for what is probably sure to be one of the more basic and ridiculous Filemaker questions ever.

I used FMpro 7 for the first time last week at a new job and went to do a basic search for a client's name in a contact management database -- I realized that I was not in proper 'find mode' while doing this and now every contact I view in 'form view' layout has this one name that appears floating in grey on top of the actual name (in black) of whichever entry I'm looking at.

So basically if I open John Smith's file, Jane Doe's name appears over top in the first and last name fields. When I click on these fields the grey name disappears, but as soon as I go to another field it reappears. Doesn't seem to appear when I print.

This is driving my boss crazy and I'm sure it's easy to fix...?? Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you typed it in on the Layout Mode?

You might go into Layout Mode for that layout and see if it is there. If it is, just select the text and delete it.

HTH
