Thank you. Makes sense. I'll try that. Ron -----Original Message----- From: FileMaker Pro Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Cassidy Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 9:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Layout maximum?
Ron I don't know if there is a maximum number of fields on a layout. I suspect not. But what I think you have come up against is the maximum layout SIZE (length, actually). When you ask Filemaker to automatically place all fields on a new layout, it uses your default typeface size to place them in a vertical list. I assume that if the list is longer than the maximum layout length, some get missed. You can of course manually place the fields on a layout. If you really need all on one layout, I'd suggest first creating two layouts each with half the fields (by selecting half the fields at a time in that layout-building wizard thingy). Then simply copy the fields from one layout and paste them onto the other (to the right of the existing fields).
