You have me totally confused Leith! and you know I do a lot of
stuff in FMP!!
Do you have 2 fields? the actual field and another one (a text
field) being used as a label? By Preview do you mean the print
preview mode or do you mean the Browse mode?
Check to see if the "Do not print the selected object" is
checked. You'll need to select the field in layout mode and then
Format : Sliding and Printing (in FMP4 anyaway). That might be
your problem.
Better yet send me your file (with 1 sample record) and I'll see
what I can do. Perhaps you can call me and we can walk through it
by telephone.
