Browse and String fields not working as intended

I have a table with 15 fields. Rather than showing all 15 fields in a
list box, I only show 3. Then I want to show the rest of the fields
for the selected record outside of the list box in in string fields.
Then as the user arrows up and down in the box, the corresponding data
should change in the string fields. For example the file has mfg,
model,year,color,style, and motor. I want the list box to show mfg
and model. In the string fields outside the list box, I want it to
show year, color style and motor in text fields. As the user scrolls
thru the list boxes, the information will change and whatever the
year, colorl,style and motor is for the selected records will show in
the sting fields. When I open the properties for the string field, I
show the field in the use box, but it doesn't work. I also tried a
prompt field as well. The first record shows correctly, but doesn't
change as I scroll up and down. Can someone tell me what I am doing
wrong?

Thanks

Hi goodfella,

The rest of the fields need to be made "hot fields" or just also put them in
the list box which automatically makes them "hot" which is what I do. If
you don't want the rest of the fields to "show up" in the list box, just
make the size of the column for them zero in the list box.

The main newsgroup you should use is news.softvelocity.com where you will
have more people to "ask".
