Subject:Is a table "in" a window or "on" a window From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"List, Techwriter" <TECHWR-L -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 20 Sep 1999 13:13:42 -0700 (PDT)
I have an application that uses windows that contain a
table as part of the window, usualy in the bottom half
of the window.
This table contains a subset of the data for a record,
based on a query process.
If this table contains more than one record, when a
record is highlighted, the top half of the window is
populated with an expanded number of fields for the
record. It actualy works pretty well.
However, I have a phrasing questions:
Is the table "in" the window or "on" the window, as I
would use it in the following sentence:
The table in the "Notebook Types" window will be
populated with the records that satisfy the search
criteria.
