I am using the 2.0.7 Demo to evaluate Form Master 2008 and I am having trouble using the Column Span when the Label Position is on the Left. 

When the Label Position is set to Left, FM is counting the labels as columns yet does not provide a high enough span to cover the whole form.

For example, if the form has 6 columns, with the Label Position Above you can set the CS to 6 and the row will span all 6 columns of the form. If the Label position is set to Left, the maximum CS is still 6. But if you choose CS:6 it does not span the entire width of the form. C5 and C6 label and field are not covered.




I also had trouble with spacing using Column Span. Regardless of the Label Position for the form, when I place a field that spans 3 columns above three fields, controlling the positioning of three fields below are nearly impossible. Here is the example:

Row 1: Field: Address, width: 400, LabelAlign: Left, ControlAlign: Left, CS:3
Row 2; Field: City, width: 120, LabelAlign: Left, ControlAlign: Left, CS:1
Row 2; Field: State, width: 30, LabelAlign: Left, ControlAlign: Left, CS:1
Row 2; Field: ZIP, width: 70, LabelAlign: Left, ControlAlign: Left, CS:1

What I get looks like this:

Address
City	State	ZIP
[script removed]Submit

(notice there that I cannot control the spacing between City and State).

I want to get the fields more evently spaced like this:

Address
City	State	ZIP
[script removed]Submit

Lance,

Best thing is to Export your form and send it to c5.cust.service at this domain. We will check out your concerns.

I am interested in this answer because I too am struggling with the spacing of cells.  Can you post the conclusion here.

I am having the same issues.  Would you please post instructions / best practices for handling this type of formatting?

Thank you.

To make the initial spacing for the 3 cells below the address bar all that is needed is to make more columns and span them untill the spacing is as you need it. Because the address field is so wide it will naturally push out 3 columns but if you had it span 6 columns and put the thre below in 1,2, and 3 it should work ok.

Give it a shot and if you cannot get it please send the exported form to c5.cust.service at this domain.
