Separate field/table settings for Master/Detail views

Post by bkonia »

Oftentimes, a form will be appear as both a master form and as a detail form under a different master form. In these instances, we may want to use different field/table settings, depending on whether the form is being rendered as a master form or a detail form. For instance, we may want certain fields to be visible in the master form view, but not in the detail form view. Therefore, it would be extremely useful to be able to specify table and field settings independently for master and detail views. By default, the detail view would use the same settings as the master view. However, each property sheet would have a "Default" checkbox at the top. If the user unchecks this box, he could then override the detail view settings for that property sheet.

I realize you can accomplish this using Views, but that would add a lot of redundancy to the application, requiring the user to manually update the settings in the detail form View, each time he makes a change to the master form.
