Tip
You should be able to copy and paste
SELECT "Type", "Type"
FROM "Payment Type"
from above directly into the
List content
box. Just make sure you copy from the
S
in SELECT to the
double quotation mark after the phrase
Payment Type
and no
more than this.
Note
What you wrote is called an SQL command. The words
SELECT
and
FROM
are written in capital letters because they are
commands. When the command SELECT is used, it requires a
field name within quotation marks and then the field’s alias, also
within quotation marks. In this case, the field and its alias are the
same. The FROM command requires the name of the table which
contains the field. Single-word table names do not require
quotation marks, but multiple-word table names do.
• Repeat these steps for the payment fields for Lunch, Supper,
Motel, Snacks, and Misc. The main form should look like
Figure 216 as far as where the controls are located. It also
shows what the Note control should look like. Those changes
are explained in the next step.
• Close the Properties window.
Figure 216: Position of controls in main form
Step 7: Change the Note field.
We want the Note control where it is located in Figure 216. Since it
has a memo field type, it needs a vertical scrollbar for additional text
space if desired.
1)
Control+click
the
Note
field. The green handles should surround
the Note field but not its label.
2) Click the Control icon to open the Properties window (Figure 217).
