Question

Possible to Display Text only in view mode?

Forum|alt.badge.img+14
I know i can choose which fields to show in view mode vs edit/add mode, but can I do this directly from a formula text field. Is there any code for If(Mode=View, "DIsplay this text", Mode=Add, "DIsplay this text") etc?

Not by formula, but if course, you can have two separate fields called 

[Words for view mode]
[Words for add mode]

and then put them both on the form

You can - sort of. Formulas can have criteria that will differentiate between Add and Edit/View, but not between all three. To do this, you would setup criteria that looks at the 'Record ID#' field. If that field is 0 or Null, you're in Add mode.
