Hi All,
I'm new to Filemaker Pro and I'm having a little difficulty
with the concept of repeating fields. Can anyone please tell
me the difference/advantages between a repeating field and a field
holding several <return> delimited lines of text/data.
Yes, I've read the "getting started' booklet and the manual from
cover to cover. What I'm really looking for are examples of the
use of repeating fields (ie things you can only do with them
alone)

Thanks in advance,

Steve
