Edit the Print Order of Objects in Forms

Each form object (data, text, OLE, and so on) has an order number: the order in which the object will print. In the Edit Print Order window, you can modify the order of objects, edit an existing object, delete form objects, or print the Object Order list to troubleshoot form errors.

  1. Display a form in the Forms Design window.
  2. Using the Selection tool, right-click with your mouse pointer in a blank area of the form. Or, select a single form object and right-click.
  3. Choose Order from the pop-up menu. Tell me more about the right-click menus in Forms Design.

    Sage 50 displays the Edit Print Order window.

    • To move an object in the object order list, select the object and click the up or down arrow buttons. The order numbers will change to reflect the new object order.
    • To examine the properties of a selected object, click the Edit button.
    • To delete an object in the list, select the object and click the Delete button. The object is also removed from the form.
    • To print the object order list, click the Print button. This report can be helpful when you are troubleshooting print errors related to the form's design.
  4. When you are finished editing the object order, click OK to return to the Forms Design window.
