When you create a Layout the fields are used to display content. If you want to hide a field, delete it from the Layout. This will not remove the data from the design, but hide the information as you request. PS. I haven't used FileMaker since about v5, but I really doubt that this behaviour has changed. > > > Susan Hastings > Registered Psychologist > Telephone: 9458 1551 > Fax: 9458 4484 > Mobile: 0409 688 004 > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > WAMUG is powered by Stalker CommuniGatePro Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S38°01'05" - E145°25'10" (Upper Beaconsfield, VIC) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
