Custom Tab In Infomaker - Default Values

Hello Out There,

I'm creating my first custom tab in Infomaker and I cannot figure out why one column of numbers open with a default of $0.00 and the rest do not. They are all set to a format of [currency], some are editable, some not.  I'd prefer they default to blanks but will take blanks or $0.00, as long as the same for all.  Any help appreaciated - thanks.

  • Sheila,

    Its likely that the editable ones are the ones that are not displaying in the $0.00 format.  I would set an edit mask for these in infomaker.   Go to the "edit" tab in the properties window for the selected field and select "EditMask" as your style type then enter $###,###,### in the mask field. 

    I don't know if this is going to give you what you need but it works on my tab.

  • Crazy… I was getting ready to explain that it wasn’t consistent with the editable/non editable fields (which it wasn’t) but I changed one field to what you said and now they all look fine.

     

    I would not make that up! Anyway, it looks good now.

     

    Thank you!

    Sometimes Infomaker is just plain WACK!
