Hi Alex
I am hopeless. I tried the wizard in 3.3.3, sure enough the fields were
added but displayed as a spreadsheet (as is data) instead of a
re-designable format for just one record, AND the design /edit button is
greyed out (as are most of the other buttons) and at the top, the
wizard says "read only". There is also no matrix.
So bearing in mind what you said about creating / saving I did that in
the hope that when I re-loaded it, I could edit it, but no, it opens in
Word and not the Design module of Base.
It makes no sense ! - its hard work!
Also on some of my larger databases, on attempting to load, the software
froze (repeatable), the cure is to delete "soffice.exe" (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
and away it goes (it unfreezes) - I was so surprised.
Grrrrr

Hi John,
Rather than start with a blank form, use the wizard to help you create
one. After opening your ODB file, click on the Form icon on the left. In
the uppermost pane, you should see the possibility to create a new form
using the wizard. Choose this option. The wizard will give you the
possibility to add the fields that you want to your form, one, several,
or all of them. The default settings proposed can be changed once the
form has been created.
Be warned that there are currently bugs in the wizard that prevent the
user from setting the background colour, or anything other than a
background colour, and personalising the styles of the presentation of
the fields in the form, but again, you should be able to correct these
once the form has been created.
