Does anybody know where I can get instructions for setting up Ultradev to work with filemaker. Can I use the ODBC driver or do I need to have JDBC driver and if so, where can I get it from? Cheers

We have used Filemaker for about 8 years in our very small company (6 people). About 3 years ago we were persuaded to buy Lotus Notes and paid for a company to take all my filemaker databases and make them do the same thing in Lotus Notes. They never seemed to quite be able to make it do the same things and about 18 months later we threw Lotus Notes off our system. I am not an incredibly technical person but after trying both, my instinct was to stick with Filemaker. I have to admit that I am very biased towards Apple Mac products and I have heard that Lotus Notes is good for very large organisations. Although I can't give you a detailed comparison my experience with Lotus Notes was bad and expensive but we may have chosen the wrong company to set it up in the first place.

Thank you very much LiveOak. I have done this with success with text fields and repeating fields but I am still having a problem with the result of my calculation. Where do I put it? I have a vertical row of repeating fields which go down 2 pages and if I put the result (total) below these repeating fields it is ok when the estimate goes on for 2 pages but when it is short and only one page, the result is on the second page. Where do I put the result?

I have all my estimates, orders, invoices in a Filemaker 4.0v1 database that then print out on A4. Sometimes the estimates need to be more than one page. How can I get to run out a second page using the same calculations without creating a new record which would make a new calculation. Cheers Judy
