I have some sub-summary fields that I need for table view but do not want to see in form view. Is there a way I can hide the sub-summary fields in form view but not in table view?

Couldn't you dim them into the background by conditional formatting, and remove access to them in the first place?

The formatting will need this:

But I'm thinking is it worth it ... why not dupe the layout and remove field in the new layout? It seeem like you won't embrace the developer takes full control with the users interactions?

Maybe one of the tips found in this video Link will Help.

Another reason for refraining from bloating each layout with an omni presence of summary fields is this:

I would even try to use the visibility trick here....

Version 9, oops, I think the tips by Matt required version 10 do to the use of Script Triggers.

Visibility, and conditional formatting probably would do what is asked. I would also consider just creating a List View with all of the fields needed there, and delete the fields to be hide on the Form View if there isn't a need for them anyway.

sub-summary fields that I need for table view

I'm not sure Lee, the use of sub summary fields in table view is a fm10 thing.

Oops.

Two oops in the same topic, a new personal record.
