Default format page that prints out ever field and value - 01-25-2007 , 01:58 PM






I am trying to write a format page that prints out ever field and
value. I can print out all the field names with:
<table>
<tr><td>Field</td><td>Value</td></tr>
[FMP-LayoutFields]<tr><td>[FMP-FieldName]</td><td>??Value??</td></tr>[/FMP-LayoutFields]
</table>
What I don't know is how to get the values. How can I do this?

your statement "trying to write" a format page seems vague to me. If you
simply want a listing of all fields and their corresponding values a q&d way
is to create a new format and move all fields to that format (via the
wizard). I do this on a regular basis when I developing so I can keep up
with my changes. Click..

view
layout mode
layout
new
on the dialog I name the layout "master" and usually add a date to the name
(ie master070125)
choose standard form and next
move all and next
default (or whatever you like) and finish

By trying I mean I have not gotten my html format page to work yet. I
don't want to use the wizard to create the page since that defeats the
purpose of the page. This page will be used to format a record
returned from any database by printing out a table of all the fields
and their value. It will also allow the addtition and subtraction of
fields from any database without having to update the format page. I
would think this would be easy, but I think I am wrong if it can even
be done.

Well I gave up trying to find a way to do it unless someone knows away
I am hardcoding the format page. Also not being able embed cdml tags
inside cdml tags or use variables in them is really killing me.
