January 16, 201016 yr "What goes here?" Hard to say. Your description is incomprehensible. Flipping fields? What?
January 16, 201016 yr What goes here? You tell us, you have the file? If you are renaming your fields, and the labels are not changing, you need to select the fields in Layout Mode, and check the box that "Creates Label" for the filed. Either that, or make a new layout using the fields, and that should create what you want. Short of that, attach a copy of your file, and we can take a look. Lee
January 16, 201016 yr Author 2 min video... http://www.eugenestar.com/test10/test10.html Thanks... I made this quick video so to show.. I suppose your suggestion.. make a new layout. maybe there is some bad internal links Or copy the whole program to a new folder and start cutting to see when i loose bad links As you can see i used field to go get the same var that is ok////
January 16, 201016 yr Author I copied my several files to a different hard drive.. and did not get the same effect of that 'YES' display in my var box ....as video shows.. Guess its my defrag time next test after that while i sleep I am encourage and can't recall this kind of a problem b4 let u know
January 16, 201016 yr Hi Rod, At the default level, you have specified your numbers to be boolean Yes. Default level controls your fonts, sizes etc. Don't select anything on your layout (while in layout mode) then go to Format > Number and take a look. Change it now to general format or whatever you prefer. Now when you go drag new copy of that field onto your layout, it will display as number again. :wink2:
January 16, 201016 yr I copied my several files to a different hard drive.. and did not get the same effect of that 'YES' display in my var box ....as video shows.. Guess its my defrag time next test after that while i sleep I am encourage and can't recall this kind of a problem b4 let u know None of what you are doing has anything to do with this problem. It is a number format problem. The one field option you did NOT select in all your mousing around between menu choices. Select the field, choose Format:Number Also do a LaRetta suggests to reset the default number format.
January 16, 201016 yr Author That was very helpful/// Didn't figure that one, I am still learning this, even after so much.. Problem got set setting a single variable in the night... and i had set the default by mistake.. Too many hours at least I got my drive defrag/ was down to 14%/ and achieved 40gB Edited January 16, 201016 yr by Guest
