Filemaker Pro 8.5 Educational Maintenance T3 TJ083LL/A User Manual

Returns in a non-repeating text field the location in pixels of each side of fieldName and 

its rotation in degrees on layoutName in the fileName file. The location is measured from 

the top left corner of the layout (regardless of printer margins) and is specified in this order: 
position of left 

, position of top field boundary, position of right field 

boundary, position of bottom field boundary, degree of rotation (measured in a counter-
clockwise direction; 0 degrees for unrotated).

Your layout begins where your margins end. Because field boundaries are measured 

from the left side and top of the layout, boundaries returned by FieldBounds never 

change unless you move or re-size a field.

FieldBounds(“Customers”;“Layout #1”;“Field”) returns 

 in the 

example below. Notice that all parameters are enclosed in quotation marks.

FieldComment(fileName;fieldName)

fileName - the name of an open 

 (local or remote).

fieldName - the name of a field in the specified database file.

See “Design functions” on page 41 for information about literal text parameters.
