By default, all cells are set to text objects. Text objects present read-only text that users cannot edit. You can use text objects to do these tasks:You can change the cell to any other type of object, such as a numeric field or text field. In this way, you could use a table to lay out an entire form.
A cell can also be a button that submits data, executes a web service operation or database query, or emails data to someone.A cell can even be a subform. A subform acts as a container for other objects, including fields, boilerplate objects, and other subforms. Subforms also help to position objects relative to each other and provide structure. If a cell is a subform, the cell can hold more than one object. For example, it can have two buttons.When a cell becomes an object other than a Text object, it behaves differently in a cell than if it were in the form design on its own. For example, a Text Field object in a cell has the caption set to None.Here are ways to change a cell to another object type; however, the results are different, depending on what is already in the cell and what you change it to:Depending on what you select from the Type list or Object Library palette and what is in the cell, the new object replaces the existing object. If you change a cell to a subform, objects that existed in the cell already are wrapped in the subform. For example, if a text field already existed in the cell and you choose Subform from the Type list, the Text Field is wrapped in the subform. If a text field already existed in the cell and you choose Numeric Field from the Type list, the Numeric Field replaces the Text Field.
