Re: multi line field in a multi record form

Paul, You cannot have arrays of wordwrapped fields in I4GL because the form syntax is not powerful enough to distinguish between the various cases. You could try subscripted fields, but they are more pain than they are worth, in my experience. I don't think there is a simple way to deal with this sort of problem.
