Changing the appearance / order of the fields

When a database is created, a file with the .edt extension is also created listing all of your field names.  This file is what defines the order and titles of the fields shown in the IMWEDIT dialog.  This file will look something like this:

[Exclude]

Street 1=FALSE

Street 2=FALSE

Block 1=FALSE

Block 2=FALSE

Mile 1=FALSE

Mile 2=FALSE

Time=FALSE

Distance=FALSE

U Long=FALSE

U Word=FALSE

The Exclude section allows you to not show certain basefields during data entry.  If you set any of these to TRUE it will not be shown.  This is handy if you are not using Uword or Ulong for data entry.

[Page1]

Name=Page1

[Page2]

Name=Page2

[Page3]

Name=Page3

The Pages section allows you to name the different pages shown at the bottom of the screen.  Perhaps you could define page 1 as being environmental information, page 2 as being vehicle 1 information, page 3 as being vehicle 2 information, and so on.

[Control1]

Name=COUNTY

Field=COUNTY

[Control2]

Name=DIR FROM INT

Field=DIR FROM INT

[Control3]

Name=MOVEMENT 1

Field=MOVEMENT 1

The Control sections define the order of the fields, the name or text you wish it to have, and the "valid" field name as defined in the lookup table.  So, Control1 is the first field, Control2 is the second, and so on.
