2. Click the Field tool. (Or choose Insert menu > Field.) Then position the
cursor where you want the field on the layout.
Holding down the mouse button, draw the field on the layout. You see a
border and text baselines to help you align the field with other objects on
the layout. Release the mouse button when the field is where you want it.
Alternatively, if you want to display field data in a drop-down list, pop-up
menu, checkbox set, radio button set, or drop-down calendar, use the Field/
Control tool (or choose Insert menu > Field/Control). See the next section,
“Setting up checkbox sets and other controls on a layout,” for more
information.
Note If you’re placing a related field in a portal, position it in the first row of the
portal. Make sure each field in the portal is from the same related table from which
the portal is set up to display records.
3. In the Specify Field dialog box, select the field to place.
