Data from one form overlapping another form

Hi there,

I have been researching to find a fix for this problem and I haven't found so I'm going to try here. I have a 3 tabbed form (Employee Details, Hardware Req and Applications). After working on the third tab (Applications), if I go back to do something on the other two tabs, the fields from the Applications are overlapping. For each form Visible is set like this:

If(varTab="Employee Details", true, false)

If(varTab="Hardware Req", true, false)

If(varTab="Applications", true, false).

The Applications tab contains a drop down, a text box and a gallery with checkboxes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It appears that your Gallery is what is mixed in. Have you set the visible property on the gallery as well?

Hi,
You should set the below to visible property of your gallery as the gallery is on applications tab and you have added an additional control I.e. gallery to your datacard
If(varTab="Applications", true, false)

Very good.

Just as an FYI, you can save yourself some typing on your formulas. To check a boolean for a true or false and then return a true or false is redundant.

You can change your formulas from (picking one) :

If(varTab="Employee Details", true, false)

To:

varTab="Employee Details"

That formula will already be true or false, so there is no need for the If statement and then the return of the same boolean value.

Also, another tip. Consider basing your formulas on one control where the logic already exists. So, since you have the logic for the Visible already on the Form Visible property, then just reference that from your Gallery Visible formula: yourForm.Visible This would make the gallery visible only when yourForm is Visible. This gives you one place to put your logic, instead of duplicating over and over, because, if you decide you want to change the tab that the form is visible on, you would only need to change it in one place, rather than going through all the controls that have that formula in it.

Hope it is helpful for you.
