    Report text overwritting itself

    It appears that I have fixed this problem just by stretching the field vertically a little and making the vertical elasticity variable. Thanks to anyone who looks at the problem.

    Report text overwritting itself

    I have a report field that is vertically expandable an can have up to 2000 characters. Below it on the layout are other fields. The problem that I am seeing is that the large (2000 char) field is expanding, but the below fields do not shift down, such that the large field overwrites some of...

    Form-Feed after first page

    I have a strange request for a report that I am hoping someone can give me a suggestion on how to handle it. There is a multiple page report that the user wants a form feed after the first page.

    Password Verification without Logging in

    I don't want the instructor to actually create another session or even log in. I just want to verify that his username and password are valid, then return to the students screen so he/she can continue.

    Password Verification without Logging in

    No, I do not want to compare against the current user. The instructor will not be logged in, just grading the work and proving who he/she is before it accepts the grade.
