I want to use headers and dividers on the FieldMaker "+" tab. How can I do this?

Answer:

The current version of FieldMaker does not have headers or dividers available. However, there is a way to accomplish this. For example, if you want the various donor interest toggle boxes to have a header or a fill-in instruction, do the following:

Create a character field with a View As of Fill-in.
Since the field name isn't important, a name such as Header_1 can be used.
The label might be "Donor Interests" or "Check off all the Interests for this Donor".
Add the field to the layout and make the actual data size as small as possible.
Click the field on the Layout tab, select Properties and set Read Only to Yes.
This is one time you should use the Layout\Format\Properties option.
This will cause the field to display, but not allow data entry.

To create a divider, use the same process as creating a header except make the label blank and make the data entry section long and thin.

Divider_1 is a good field name.
