The Options Dialog Box Readouts
Below the
Language
selection, OmniForm displays readouts: the
international symbol for the selected language (which appears in the
status bar); and currency, number, and date conventions specific to that
language.
The readouts show:
• How OmniForm expects data to be entered in fill view.
• How OmniForm will format data in fill view if it is not entered
correctly. (Formatting takes place after you move the cursor out
of a field.) See the next section for formatting examples.
Formatting Examples
Currency
If you selected
German (Austrian)
as the
Current Form
language, the
numbers 123456 entered in an appropriately defined currency field
would display as öS 1.234,56.
If you selected
German (Liechtenstein)
as the
Current Form
language, the
numbers would display as CHF 1’234.56.
Date
If you selected
English (United States)
as the
Current Form
language, the
date 2/5/96 entered in an appropriately defined date field would
display as February 5, 1996.
If you selected
German (Standard)
as the
Current Form
language, the date
would display as 2. Mai 1996.
The Scan Form Dialog Box
The
New Form
language selection appears in the Scan Form dialog box.
This becomes the
Current Form
language after the form is in OmniForm.
You cannot change the
New
Forms
language if this option
is selected.
