Michael	15-Dec-2006 12:55 DAK please if possible to design the layout of the object field to display the entire name of the linked file without having to make the object field unnecessary big? For example, file 4088 - Agents conflict of interest.pdf appears as 4088 - Agents onflict of interest pd in a layout 19 across and 5 down. If I widen it to say 30 across, the file name is too small to be read. Shortening the file description, as in 4086 - 4 - Articles.pdf is displayed as 4086 - 4 Articles.pdf but that's not ideal.

in a layout 19 across and 5 down. If I widen it to say 30 across, the file name is too small to be read.
