Re: Subfiles - overlapping fields

As you arrive at that level of sophistication it might be cleaner and
simpler to just fill two subfiles everytime, and then let the user choose
which view to see with an F-key.   Its not much more work, and it sure is
easier to understand or modify 3 months later

That is a great technique if you're only displaying data. But what if you
want input capable data in your subfile?
 
Thanks,

Hello Kurt
 
What I have done in the past, doesn't necessarily involve less work, but
seems to accomodate the need.
 
I usually build a single alpha field as the subfile record, and then use
hidden fields for the real data. Then I create data structures based on the
 
multiple record types I want to show, and EVAL the appropriate . With the
ability to color sections of an alpha field (which I just learned from this
 
message group -- thanks again!), this allows you to show or not show
whatever you want, with colors and attributes, per subfile record.
