Playing movies in multimedia fields

When a field contains a QuickTime or AVI movie, you see a preview image
of the movie.

To play a movie in a multimedia field, in Browse or List mode, double-click
the field containing the movie. To pause the movie, click outside the field.

Important

If a database document includes a multimedia field that displays

movies, and you move the document to a different computer, you must move
the movie files to the same computer.

Note

You can also add a movie to an entire document. For more information,

see “Working with movies” on page 9-26.

Working with rows and columns in List mode

List mode allows you to view and work with many records at once. In List
mode, you see all the fields in your database in a columnar layout. To work
in List mode, choose List from the Layout menu.

You work with records in List mode much like you do in Browse mode: you
can enter data, select, hide, or sort records, or create new records. In addition,
you can resize or format rows and columns, and reorder the columns.
