Kevin,

I looking to see if there is a problem with this (assuming there is - a fix will be in 1.1.4).

In the meantime, if you are comfortable with SBasic and HTML, you can remedy this as Bob has suggested. I am not sure why you are having problems compiling the program he has supplied. His solution appears to work so long as a width has not been specified for the static text element.

If you are okay with HTML, but do not want to use SBasic, you can place the snippet Bob has supplied (minus the element name, the equal sign, and the quotes) right in the label for the static text element.

If you wish to use neither SBasic or HTML, you can place a "spacer" element before your title and set its width to a fairly high number (try 700 or so). That will push you title over to the right by the width of the spacer.

As far as I know the only difference between the compiler in SDesigner (used to test) and the runtime compiler is that the SDesigner compiler includes "ghosted" elements (elements moved off of the form) and the runtime compiler does not. Both run the same compiler with the same library on the same code.

If either is evaluating anything inside quotes (without a missmatched quote mark), please supply an example of this occuring to Ray as soon as possible. Or post a small example here (maybe under a new thread?)

I put in the HTML code in the label of the Static Text and it worked. Could the same method be used as a value box? Thanks for the input. It would be nice for future versions of Sesame to have 1 simple button or command that would allow for this text formatting. I love all the features of Sesame. However, as a former user of Q & A for Windows, I miss some of the features in Q & A such as the Freeform reports in which you see the way the report will pretty much look as you are designing it. Other members have mentioned to me how the feature of using mail merge into Word will replicate any of the Q & A for Windows freeform report. However, it would still be nice for former Q & A users to make a report like that right in Sesame. I now need to learn how to use the mail merge with Word to make reports like I had in Q & A. Sesame is great though in all the other areas. Thanks again for the help.

Ok. I am getting it to work now using HTML code. Is it possible now to make a Static Text and Programmed element in a report appear on the same line?

I have a static text value with our company name that shows on the left. Next, I am putting in the HTML code to put "Packing List" on the right. I am not adding a new line command.

I would like our company name and the Packing list to appear on the same line 1 aligned to the left, the other to the right. Is this possible, right now it puts it on a new line automatically.

Thanks,

Kevin

Ray:

Worked great, I had to modify your sample and put quotes around packing list, and then it worked. My next question, I tried to use Sesame to change the Font size, but evidently it will not work in this method since this information is in a value box. How can I make the code example you gave me bold and larger. Again, thanks for the help I have no HTML background.
