Questions about tables.

Hello,
I have some questions about table block and table element:
- is it possible to tell to layout how much the table header is high? I have some elements is the table header and sometimes rows are too near the header so that I lost the first row or if there is only one row, entire table;
- how does flexilayout decide the column length? Sometimes I have one column divided into two and one of theese is a "blank" clolumn with only white space (and no element in header.

Thanks in advance

    Hi angusto, first thing I would check if I were in your shoes would be the accuracy of the static text I'm using to find the column headers. It's important to check how FlexiCap is actually reading that text as well, as opposed to only typing what your eyes can see. Also remember, if your column headers are more than one line of text to select "multi-line name" in your column properties of your table element.

    Next thing I would check would be how I'm asking Flexicap to detect the rows. Are you asking it to detect rows automatically? This seldom works unless you have a nearly perfect table which it sounds like you may not. I almost always "use master columns to detect rows". I then select the column (or columns) that has the most reliable format...ie single lines of data only that are located at the top of each field.

    Hope that gives you some things to try at least. I find trial and error is the best way to learn the little intricacies of the software. There's almost always a way to accomplish what you need.
