ASPRunnerPro General questions

First of all I'd like to congratulate for such a great and user-friendly software.
I was wondering if it is possible to customize the layout of each table/field other than selecting vertical or horizontal layout.
One of my main tables has over 80 fields and both vertical or horizontal layouts make the table hard to read/view. For example, I have check boxes that should be grouped within the same area (or row).
In other words I'd like to have a table with several rows and columns and be able to display more than one field per row.
Thanks for your help
Rick

Rick,
you can freely modify the files created with ASPRunner to customize the pages appearance.

You need to be familiar with HTML and ASP to make that.

Sergey,
I know HTML and I am learning ASP. Can you be more specific on how to modify the layout of each page? For now, I only need some changes on two xxx_add.asp and xxx_edit.asp page(s).
At this stage, the TEMPLATE EDITOR feature is still complicated for me. Can I modify the layout once ASPRunner has created the pages? If so, where and how do I place the various fields on a customized table?
I hope you can assist me with some examples. Thanks
Rick

Rick,
template editor do not know anything about fields. Template page defines page structure.
You can modify generate ASP files. For example on ADD/EDIT pages you can create an HTML table with two columns and move fields 41-80 to the second column. The same idea applies to the list page.
