I’m using a subform with list fields. Some of the docs that use this subform need the IsSummary=True and others need it to be False. Is this possible? Is the IsSummary property of the form field? - the same for all docs that use it? - or, can I selectively change the value for each document?
Subject: Is the IsSummary property a form-field property? - or a doc-field property?
It is a note item propertu, which is essentially what you mean by a “doc field” property. It is is inherited, in a sense, from the type of form field. A text field on a form will create a summary text item on the note, but the fact that you add a text item to the note and the note has that text field won’t change the summary property unless it is recomputed or saved with that form. Does that help?
Subject: But, will it change back?
So, if I change the IsSummary to False for a document, then when it is opened and saved, will it change back to True?
Subject: Yes, if the document is re-saved using that form.
If you need it not to, you should leave it off the form or change it back in the PostSave event.
Subject: Excellent - Thank you!
