Layout Listing Names in Table View?

[J. Williams]

I want to create a layout that lists individual names in a permanent table view. I know it's simple, but I can only get one name to show up at a time. Assistance please?

Perhaps you're in a found set. Try Show All Records.

I think you need to go into layout mode - from the layouts menu select layout set up - there is a tab called views from which you select the views you want to be active in this case "table" only - also see Barbara's post

Okay, got it to show up... but instead of showing up where the field is placed (in body, to right of a graphic), it's showing up on far left with no other layout components? A bit more help?

There are no layout options in table view - it is just a table view

I suspect what you want is "list" view (see previous post for changing)- where you make your body section one row high - you can still place your layout objects where you want etc

One extra thing you can also change views on the fly in browse mode from the view menu (view as form, view as table etc)

Ugh, why am I so brain dead. Maybe, I'm going about it all wrong. I have a calc field that = last name, first name (one name for each unique record). I want to create a layout that shows up as:

Adam, John

Brown, Jack

Doe, Joe

etc.

Should I be setting up differently?

[Simon K]

The formula for the calculation field should be something like

lastnamefield & ", " & firstnamefield

You have not said what is actually not working/what the undesirable result is...

[J. Williams]

Calc isn't the issue...I can't get it to view as described:

Adam, John

Brown, Jack

Doe, Joe

etc.

I'm still working on it.

Just in case there are other novice users who search this topic; the fix for my particular problem was... resize the table column to view properly. Ugh.
