I have done this ... as far as I can tell I have done it properly: 1) add overlay to form 2) create view overlay 3) add 'Page Holder' to view overlay 4) create overlay on 'Page Holder' 5) add 'Floor' field to view overlay 6) create overlay on 'Floor' field 7) save the form 8) close the form 9) re-open the form after performing the above, many of the display properties for the 'Floor' field are unlocked (I can for instance change the display mode, label, etc).
