Many methods require a field number. In FORMS the form definition fields are numbered in the order they are defined in the form definition. For example, if you first define an image field, then a series of three mark fields, and finally a character field, the fields are numbered as follows:
|
Field |
Field number |
|
Image field |
1 |
|
Mark field index 1 |
2 |
|
Mark field index 2 |
3 |
|
Mark field index 3 |
4 |
|
Character field |
5 |
Field order is the same as verification order, unless you have changed the verification order (FORMS Help topic). When you change the verification order of the fields on a form, the field number is not affected.
