I was wondering if FM 7 can freeze fields much like Excel. I have a number of fields across the screen and I want to keep the ones on the left while Vert scroll to the right. Can it be done with little efforet?

Hi

can you attach a picture of what you wish ?

Your question isn't so easy to understand.

Freeze pane is similar to table view where left field is held in place and by scrolling (or arrow) right, the left column (field) remains in place but the other fields move. It CAN be done using dynamic portals but it isn't easy and is impossible to let the User determine which column will freeze. An easy way to pull it off: One layout with your 'frozen' left column (field) then the first set of subsequent fields. Use List layout and place right/left arrow at the top.

Duplicate the layout and change all fields (except the first 'frozen' field) to your next set. The arrows will just switch layouts using Go To Layout [ by calculation ]. Your script will look at the layout being viewed and move forward (or back) depending upon the selection, which is determined by a Case() calculation.
