Moving Through Fields
You can click in any field to place the cursor there or you can use the
following keyboard commands to move the cursor within a form.
Saving in Fill View
If you close a form after making data entries in Fill View (but no changes
in Design View) OmniForm does not prompt you to save the changes.
This is because OmniForm saves automatically in Fill View.
OmniForm saves after numerous user actions: moving from one record
to another, printing or closing a form, before importing or exporting
data, and in many other situations. You would rarely need to use the
Save
command in Fill View except to:
• Save changes to the entire form, both changes made in Design
View and data entered in Fill View.
• Save information entered in the
Print offsets for data
option in the
Print dialog box.
Use the
Save As...
command in Fill View to save a form to another
location or with a different file name.
