Re: Location of data file?
Sean, It's ok man. I didn't catch the fact that mine WERE iCloud until way too deep into digging. =)

Re: Location of data file?

Re: Location of data file?
Apparently, the storage location for Ninox files in iCloud was put in the most convoluted path humanly possible. I'm not sure if this is a product of Ninox devs or what,…

Re: Why can't I move these formula fields?
Sean, I threw a formula field in at the bottom for that CSS bit you posted before. I did nothing other than make the field and paste the info in. This was the result and EXACTLY what I wanted to have…
