Displaying data in a table - CR 9

[brian8655]

I have data that I want to display in a table within the details section. I want the left colum to be constant and the right to be a database field such that the out put is:

label1 | [database_field1]
label2 | [database_field2]
label3 | [database_field3]
label4 | [database_field4]

The layout and the number of rows will be constant. I can't just use text areas next to the fields because the dtabase field values are text and could be multiline. I want the labels to always be at the top of the paragraph for each corresponding database field value. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you place each row in a separate detail section (a,b,c,d), you can align the fields at the top of the section, and then format the database field to "can grow" so that it grows downward.

-LB

The problem with this approach is that there is info on either side of the table. I should have specified this.

info   info   label1 | [database_field1]   info   info
              label2 | [database_field2]
              label3 | [database_field3]
              label4 | [database_field4]

all of the 'info' fields are also text fields set to 'can grow'

Try putting the info fields in the detail_a section and then place the first label and database field in detail_b, but format detail_a to "Underlay following sections".

-LB
