I am attempting to setup an hours calculation format. My question is - Is there any way to set up the time fields (for in/out times) that are quick data entry - without having to be military time or having to enter AM PM. If it could be done without the colon that would be great, too. I want my data entry person to only have to key numbers - it goes faster and is easier to remember. Is there a conversion method that I am missing or something that will take a field entered as a number and put it to being a time? Much thanks in advance for any help.

I don't even know what to call what I'm trying to do so here it is-- I have a portal that lists records sorted by 'due date' What I want to do is have some distinguishing feature (i.e. a line or symbol) to show when there is a change of date in the list. an example would be: 4/1/01 4/1/01 ------ 5/3/01 ----- 6/1/01 6/1/01 Is there anyway to do this, any terminology that might help me in solving this? Much thanks ahead of time.

I'm new to this I am trying to understand what Filmaker can do - so here's a brief assessment of what I'm up to. What I have - two files - one that contains main 'Job' information and one that contains detailed 'Parts' information for the job. I currently use the 'Part' file as repeating lines for the 'Job' (i.e. 1 job may have 10 different part items) What I want to do - run a report that will list the part items for all open jobs, sorted by due date. My question is - can I, as part of my 'Job' file run a report that utilizes all the records in the part file. With the ability to sort and find specific records in that part file. I would assume that I would somehow use scripting. What I understand - I know how to run the report while I'm in the 'Part' file - but I would like to be able to utilize my 'Job' file as my main resource of information. (i.e. run all my reports and clarify/search data w/o jumping back and forth between files) Thank you for your help!
