• Select Action. All the same action types you have available
with bookmarks and links are available with form fields. Click
the Select Action option and choose an action type from the
drop down menu.
• Actions. The Actions box expands as actions are identified to
accommodate a description of the assigned action(s). Use this
box to view at a glance actions assigned to form fields. The
box itself is not editable, but you can double-click on items
to change the action. For example, when you use the Open a
web link action, double clicking on the web link reported in the
Actions box opens the Open a web link dialog box where a URL
is typed. You can edit the URL and the change is reflected back
in the box. Below the Actions box are buttons that offer you
options for moving actions up or down in the box.
An Edit button opens the dialog box where an action is
assigned, and the Delete button is used to delete a selected
action in the box.
• Unique attributes. Because the form fields differ greatly in
their design and intent, you have unique attribute assignments
you can add to any given field type. For example, when creating
text fields, you have options for data formatting, validation,
and calculations. When using button fields, you have more
options for adding appearances where icon images can be used
as button faces. When using combo and list boxes you have
options for adding menu names.
