Receipt Container

[james211]

I'm building a database for my coffee roasting.  I want to have a layout for storing all the receipts from the green beans I purchase from my vendors.  How would I go about creating a layout that lets me keep adding files without creating multiple containers manually?

You would create a table that has one container field - and in this table you would have a separate record for each receipt.

My apologies for my ignorance, as I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to filemaker.  How do you create multiple records within a container?

You don't. You create multiple records within a table.

I suggest you do at least the tutorial before asking questions here - otherwise we won't have enough of a common vocabulary to makes sense to each other.

Sorry, I misread your first comment...now I get what you're saying.  I missed the table part..
