Table Footer

A table on an MYOB Advanced form, tab, or dialog box can have a table footer, which contains buttons you can click to navigate between the pages of the table. The toolbar footer displays navigation buttons if the table has too many details or objects (that is, table rows) to fit on one page. For a generic inquiry form (such as a substitute form for a data entry form), the table footer also displays the number of pages and the total number of records, as shown in the following screenshot.

Note: If a request to the database takes too much time and the system cannot calculate the number of records for the generic inquiry before timeout (which is calculated based on settings of Microsoft SQL Server; the default timeout setting is 6 seconds), the system displays a warning message, and the table footer does not display the total number of records.
