Hello - Currently I am running FM8.5 Advanced on a Windows 7 PC. I have cataloged all my products based on part numbers with almost all the information I need. I have MSWord Instructions for all these parts that are istting in a folder. I would like to make it so I can paste/or access the corresponding instructions so that I can print them as a report from FM. Several of these instructions have images associated in the word document, and we would like to keep them as closely formated as possible. I have made a text field in my database for instructions, and I have attempted to "paste special" but it is not giving me an option for MS Word formatting, and I am unsure if the pictures will be pasted in from the instructions. Does anybody know of a solution? Thank You Phillip

I seem to be at a loss, it has been years since I have had to do anything major to our FMPro database. We have a main menu, contact, invoice, and product databse set up. I can click from contact to make a new invoice, I can type in products and they show up on the invoice - But here is my issue, I had to add 2 fields to my products, a Rack and Vehicle field, and I am trying to get these fields to show up on the invoice when I type in the product ID. I defined the fields in the product database, where to go from here I am at a loss - my Products DB is linked to my line items DB, so if I add those fields in my line item DB, I can see them, but I cannot seem to connect them to my invoice DB. I have not actually had to modify this system since FM6.... So, I am stumped and have searched for close to 24 hours, with nothing to show for it. I am sure it is something stupid easy, but I'm at my wits end. Thanks for any help/advice you can offer. Phillip Spring Hill, FL
