| Quick Lists and Quick Entry Forms | |
|
There are two simple methods of creating list and entry forms. The first method is to create a new Template, open it, click on the Data rectangle button and select the font (i.e., typeface, size and style) you wish to use for the Fields. Then click on the Label rectangle button and select the font you wish to use for the labels. Select Quick Entry or Quick List from the Edit menu according to the type of form you wish to create. The Template will then contain all the Fields in the Relation. This feature does not recognize inert Fields or calculated defaults, but the Template may then easily be modified as needs arise. The second method is quicker, if a bit less flexible. Drag out a new View icon and open it in the Form Selection View. If you want to create an entry form, select Clear Form, Find First or Find Last from the View menu (or type command-F, command-1 or command-4). If you want to create a list, select Find All from the View menu. This technique is only available when there are no Templates highlighted in the Template column of Form Selection View. You may attach Queries and Indices to these Views, but neither Templates nor Posts. If you wish to determine the order in which the Fields appear on the Templates, click on each Field in the order you want them to appear, then use either of the methods described above to create the form. |
