Note

The table wizard in Base contains suggested fields which are single

words, often consisting of two separate words. Table names in the wizard

have been that way also. However, you can use multiple words as the

name of a field, label, or table. We will do so when we create a list box for

each of the payment type controls.

1) Control+click the SnackNo label. Do one of the following:

• Right-click the SnackNo label and select Control from the pop-up menu.

• Or, click the Control icon in the Form Control toolbar (Figure 194).

2) The dialog that opens is labeled Properties: Label Field. It contains all of the

properties of the selected label.

• In the Label selection, edit the label to Snack No.

• Close the Properties dialog.

3) Use the same procedure to change these labels as well: BPayment to Payment,

LPayment to Payment, SPayment to Payment, Miscellaneous to Misc.,

SnackCost to Snack Cost, MPayment to Payment, MiscPayment to Misc.

Payment, and MiscNotes to Misc. Notes.

Tip

You can modify all of the listings in the Properties window. For example, if

you change the Alignment from Left to Center, the word or words in the

label are centered within the label. When you have some time, you might

want to experiment with different settings just to see the results you get.

Step 5: Change the widths of the labels and fields.

We want the following controls to be 2 cm wide (0.8 inches): Breakfast, Lunch,

Supper, Odometer, Snack No., Tolls, Snack Cost, Motel, and Misc. All of the payment

fields were changed in step 2, but Misc. Payment needs to be changed to 3 cm (1.2

inches).

1) Right-click Breakfast and choose Position and Size. On the Position and Size

dialog, change Width to 2 cm.

2) Repeat for the other listed controls, using 3 cm for Misc.Payment.

Caution

When changing the position or size of an entire control, use the Position

and Size dialog or the drag and drop method.

When working with either the label or the field (but not both at the same

time), you can use the Properties dialog to make these changes when

you want to be exact. However, you need to be careful not to

accidentally select the entire control for use with the Properties dialog

or you will apply the exact same values to both the label and field. For

example, if you enter the values for a new position, both the field and

the label moves to the same position and the field is positioned on top of

the label. Then you have to move each of them to where you want them.

Note

To open the Properties window, right-click a control and select Control

from the pop-up menu. Or, you can click the Control icon in the Form

Controls toolbar. Just be careful, and use Control+Z to undo any

mistakes you may make. Detailed instructions on how to use the

Properties window will be in the Base Guide.
