About enhancing forms
InfoMaker provides you with a variety of ways to enhance a form to make
it easier to enter data and to interpret data. You can customize the display
of the data. You can also place controls such as command buttons and
pictures in a form.
You enhance a form in the Layout view and then you run the form to see
if it is usable and what it looks like with data. You can repeat this process
many times until you have exactly what you want.
❖ To enhance a form:
1 Create the basic form and click the Run button to see the form with
data.
2 Click the Close button to return to the Form painter Layout view,
where you can enhance the form.
