Hi,
I've been trying for the last 20 minutes, but I can't get it to work.
When I go into the form design mode after opening the form, then there
is an icon along the bottom called "add field". When I click on that, a
small window opens in the middle of the screen, which is around 3 cm
wide and 4 cm high. It is called "add field:". But the window is empty.
Completely empty. You can't even put a cursor in it. Perhaps I am not
clicking on the appropriate icon in the form design toolbar?
Aha !! Yes, the invisible field list gotcha. You have to select a field
on your form before you click on the icon that brings up the field list.
For some rather obscure programming design choice reason, the generation
of the field list requires that a field already linked to the table be
selected in order for that field list control to be populated - totally
counter intuitive I agree, but I guess this functionality is dependent
on some method. In my ideal world, you would have a tree list control
that would let you choose first the table you want the field from, and
then the field from that table by drilling down.
