Legend, thanks mate. I have to start using more words in my search functions, not just startup page...bahahahaha

Pretty much, or just run the one file that can access all three

Hi All, I have turned to the forum once again due to the high experience and wealth of knowledge to guide me through yet another turbulent time... I have now created three DB's for various aspects of my business. I have just discovered that there is a "Startup Page". Maybe next time I will fully check out the system before I jump in and create the files....I was wondering if I can get your help in trying to create a page that incorporates all three DB's. Is that at all possible. My attempts have resulted in scrambled eggs mauled by a bull mastiff after it has been starved for a week. (nice image but I think you get the point). Thanks in advance for all contributions. Cheers

thanks all, issue was resolved. I appreciate everyones input...

OOOOPPPPSSSS, i was completely going in the wrong direction.....thank you very much for your time and mock up, mate that is exactly what i need to do, i just have to figure out how to incorporate that into the current DB. I am assuming that my idea of having a "tab" called attachments and having this table in that tab is a feasible one?

Hmmmm Wow....I think this is going to make me completely bald... you lost me at "in that case" but I picked you up at the part you were telling me I am trying to figure this out when it is all new.... can I iChat you and give you control....lol

Thanks for your reply Ocean West, and the welcome. I just applied the container field with the interaction pdf as your pic showed (never saw that, geez I'm blind) so that worked well, is there a way to import multiple files in the one record. Say I have a proposal pdf, a pricing spreadsheet and a powerpoint presentation. Can I import them into a specific field so when I come back to the record or access it via iPad i can see each document as required. Sorry if this is before beginner but I am new at databasing and don't know where to start Cheers Daniel

G'Day everyone. I am new to all this FMP12 stuff and I am the first to admit that I know 99% of absolutely nothing..... I am in the process of developing a client contact database for my new business. I need to create a section within the client record so I can import / export multiple files of different types (pdf's, xls, ppt etc) I have tried playing around with container fields and basic scripting. The most I have been able to achieve is importing a single file image icon for the file, but no file or even link. Can someone please help me with a (he is an idiot) explanation.... Cheers Nearly Bald from frustration.
