Correct, and I have to apologize for not having been too precise. :-) My socalled "selfdefined" fields are indeed name fields (which can contain any text) with customized labels. BUT: as laid out, my name fields with custom labels have until now shown up (in 10.5.8) in the order, they had been defined in the template. They still do in 10.6.8, but only while being in entering mode (if that is the correct term?), but not in viewing mode, where date field, name fields and note fields show randomly anrranged br Rudolf _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
