Use
the Extra Windows window to add extra windows to the Form. An extra
window allows you to increase the number of fields available for
data entry as well as adding the ability to enter notes on an
Extender Form. There are 3 types of extra window, Standard, Note
and Note List. A Standard extra window allows you to define 15
additional data entry fields. A Note extra window allows you to
enter a single note. A Note List extra window allows you to enter a
list of date, time and user tracked notes. When an extra window is
added to a Form, a button is added to the bottom of the Form.
Clicking the button opens the extra window. The Button Prompt field
on the extra window definition controls the label of the extra
window button. The Window Name field on the extra window definition
controls the title of the extra window. You can have a maximum of
50 extra windows on a Form. Only 8 of these windows are displayed
on the main window. Other extra windows are accessible from the
Extras menu.
