Does anyone know of an easy way to arrange the fields in a record form in two columns? I would rather display 20 fields in two columns of 10 fields each - with the appropriate captions ofcourse. I would prefer a method that would not require editing the html in a separate tool (Dreamweaver or FrontPage). I am using ASP with templates.
Thanks!

Mammer,
as you use template pattern the only way is to edit html file. Open it and you'll that fields for record form are located like:
<tr>
<td>Field1 Caption </td>
<td><textarea name="bug_desc" cols="60" rows="3">{bug_desc}</textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field2 Caption </td>
<td><input type="text" name="priority_id" maxlength="" value="{priority_id}" size=""></td>
</tr>
You should modify it to locate 4 <td> tags inside one row:
<tr>
<td>Field1 Caption </td>
<td><textarea name="bug_desc" cols="60" rows="3">{bug_desc}</textarea></td>
<td>Field2 Caption </td>
<td><input type="text" name="priority_id" maxlength="" value="{priority_id}" size=""></td>
</tr>

In templateless pattern create Custom Show event, obtain generated code and edit it.

Is it possible to "copy and paste" the form in the same page, link them together (via ID) and choose only different fields for each form?

George,
no you cannot use two forms. Just look at html code - you'll get two forms if you duplicate the form. And again you should edit html to make them work. The easier way is to edit html layout of one form.

Thanks Nicole!
I would just add that "Record form with 2 columns" would be a very useful feature for CC / CCS. It would increase the usability both for designer and end user, which is one of the strongest arguments of such toll.
Anyway, now I tested “my” solution: two sibling record forms in the same page with following parameters:
Page
Columnar Layout [x]
Forms
Grid,
Grid Type: Columnar
Page Navigation [x] *only the left form
Records = 1
It worked - almost 
The problem is I can not synchornise the rigt form to follow the left one.
