Adding objects to a form
You can enhance the appearance and functionality of your form by adding design objects. You
can add boxes, ellipses, or lines to physically divide groups of buttons or fields into separate
areas and add text objects to label the areas. To view data in a table field that is not currently
included on your form, you can add a field object. To make navigation and editing of table fields
easier, you can add button objects. To make the addition of text field and button objects easier,
an Expert is launched when the object is added to the form.
