Freddd Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi, I just discovered that I can display field data by simply using the text tool and typing: <> onto the layout and it will display the data for that record, it even works in IWP. What is this function called? I attached a sample file for anyone interested. It looks like it could be a great way to securly display data on the internet. thanks! barckettest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 It's called a merge field. :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 And to use related fields, use: <> You can also enter them in layout mode, by going insert --> Merge Field, or just pressing ctrl + M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddd Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) really? well duh on me. I just dont see it being used much by developers. that's a bit of a misleading name, its sooo much more than that. I programmed for 15 hours straight today, anything new impresses me at this point. -) Edited March 15, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
