I have a form designed for the Notes Client ONLY. In this form, I have a tabbed table, with “Fit with margins” specified. When I open the form with certain documents, it works fine. BUT when I open the SAME form with other documents, the right hand margin is WAY of the end of the screen.
I have tryed different settings for “Fixed Width” table, “Relative” and “Absolute” margins and these affect all the normal documents as expected, and I can change them back again and things work as they should for these documents ONLY.
For the “messed up” documents (?? - they all use the same form!!), it doesn’t matter what settings I set, the right margin is always doing something it shouldn’t, like being miles off of the screen.
Has this been fixed in a later release or is there a work around for it???

Yes,
There is (or rather was) a rich text field, but I have removed these and there is still no difference. All other tables on the form work OK, just this one tabbed table, which holds the main data.

If you have any merged table cells, try unmerging and checking them. Maybe one of the cells has a problem (fixed width?) that you can’t see when it’s merged with another.

Thanks,
I don’t have any merged cells. Wouldn’t that affect all documents? I still can’t understand why the form displays OK with some docs, but not with others.
The table is a tabbed table and contains other tables only. The other tables contain all fields, and text.

Found the problem with this - me!!!
I had a radio button field, with 4 columns. When a certain other field was blank, this displayed a message (in the form of one option! - bad idea). The message was so big that the other “invisible” columns were making the right hand margin go off the end of the screen! I thought that having one option would mean only one column (with a maximum of 4 should I need them), but apparently not!! All 4 columns still “appear” even if they do not have anything to fill them!
So I sorted it, by hiding the field (and leaving it blank!) and then having some text with the message and another hide when formula!
