Rules for adding a field
Decided I need a new field:-
Added field to end of db_def section and incremented col number.
Added code to display new field in existing html_record_form and html_record sections. Problem is that the field description is fine on the modify display but the field input is outside of the table and does not seem linked to my new field. Where have I gone wrong!! Thanks,
Rob

If your input field is outside of the table, there's probably a problem with your <tr> or <td> tags. Remember that everything must be within a <td> cell in a table.

If you can't figure it out, let me see the code for the table and I'll probably be able to find it.

Remember that, if you have any data at all in the database, you'll have to allow for the new field. Otherwise all of your records will be messed up when they display.
