    About the Grant Application form

    The form demonstrates several features.

    Page numbering
    The page numbers are calculated values obtained by inserting run-time properties into a Text object.

    Maximum number of characters for each field
    The Max Chars option, on the Field tab of the Object palette, for each field is specified as per data specifications.

    Multiple line field
    The Description field Allow Multiple Lines option, on the Field tab of the Object palette, is selected so that users can enter several description lines.

    Picture patterns
    The user is expected to enter some values in a specific format. A validation message, defined on the Value tab of the Object palette, will prompt the user to enter values in the proper format if the user has not done so. For example, a script will validate the BudgetDirectCosts field's user-entered value.

    Custom library objects
    The U.S. States Custom Library Object was used to create the State and OrgState drop-down lists.

    Tabbing order
    The default tabbing order has been modified to allow a column flow. Display the tabbing order by selecting the Tab Order command from the View menu.
