Adding extra windows to a Form

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.
