Hi,

I have a peculiar problem with Form fields.

When I open the form the labels all look distorted i.e. not in alignment.
I have tried to change the alignment of all the fields to Left, Center, Right....also tried to make them Bold and stuff, but still it does not work,

And the field labels looks very shabby.

I am attaching the screen shot of the Form screen while executing actually session, and how it looks in the Form editor window.

How to correct this ?

I think you use single-line labels. You should change them to multi-line labels.

Hi Wiggum,

actually these are indeed Multiline label, just have a look at the screen shot..of the label field "Maintain form label fields"..

In fact i will try the other way around..create multiple single line labels and check it out.....

But, I sure want to know why are the lables looking distorted (missaligned)

The reason for what is happening is that you have a line of single occurance fields (relating to "Total CFT") in the middle of a multi-occurance layout. For some reason this confuses the layout manager that 'paints' the form (at least in BAAN IV c3).

If possible move the single occurance line to the bottom of the form, say line 17 or 18 depending on how many lines of multi-occurance data you want to display. You may also move the single occurance line ABOVE the labels of the multi-occurance data. Just MAKE SURE THERE IS ONE LINE BLANK between the single occurance line and the mutli-occurance data.

I guess those are the rules of the game!

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Shah,

Indeed that was the case. The labels of multioccurance fields where above the single occ fields.

After I shifted the single occ fields above multiocc field labels it got sorted out...

Hımm ... That's good fix !!!
