Hi Swarup,
I went into edit mode for the form, clicked on the field of interest (so
that green squares appeared surrounding it) and then "entered the group"
by going to Format -> Group -> Enter Group. When I then right-clicked on
the field, it gave me a variety of options none of which was
"Properties". So I tried all the drop-down windows on the upper panel,
but could not find an option for "properties". Could you explain
further, how to find "properties" to see the settings for the field in
question?
Sorry about that, my fault for not using the correct terminology. If you
right mouse button click on your activated field (i.e. with the green
squares showing), you will get a context menu with a set of entries, one
of which will be called "Control". Click on this and a window with 3
tabs should appear. The first tab is entitled General, and within it are
contained the various properties of the control that you have selected.
You can, for example, set the date format, or choose a start and end
date, change the font and colour of the data that will be displayed in
the field, etc.
If the dates are in a grid control, then you can right click on the
column header and also see what formatting you have applied.
I don't understand the terminology you have used here. Are you still
referring to the design view for the Form? What is "grid control"? Your
reference to a "column header" makes me think you may be referring to
the table view here and not the form. But when I right click on the
column header in the table view, there is no option to see what
formatting has been applied.
A grid control is a form element that looks like a table view, but which
is inserted into a form. To all extents and purposes it can be a whole
table, or a subset thereof.
HTH,
Alex
