Lately i have been working a lot with Filemake Pro 1.0b2. I think it is a great program but there are still a few problems/questions which I can't solve. Hopefully there is somebody out there who can help me. Is it possible in FMP 1.02 to 'link' files? So that if you press button x you switch layout x in a different FMP file? Is it possible to have the same field twice on a layout and to be able to enter different data?(or have them auto-enter an increasing number?) I know there are repeating fields but they make it only more difficult. My example: Imagine an order sheet. 5 rows with first an increasing number(autoenter?), then a desciption,price etc.... If I use a repeating field there is no increasing nr., and if I just want to list the non-blank fields it always lists all the 5 repeating fields whether they are empty or not. But if I use a normal field multiple times then a value entered in one field automatically shows up in the others and vica versa. any help would be appreciated etienne -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Etienne Bido || ebido@bio.vu.nl Vrye Universiteit || bido@chem.vu.nl Amsterdam Holland
