Objects

Adding Objects to your Edit Form will allow you to display and edit a record's data.

Each type of Object has a different purpose.

And once you have added Objects to an Edit Form, you can use Arrange Objects to rearrange Objects on the Form along with their tabbing order.

The All Tab contains information required by all Objects (with a few exceptions).

The Custom Code Tab allows Javascript events to be added to all Objects (with a few exceptions).

All other Tabs relate specifically to the Object of the same name.
