  1. As far as I know it is part of file maker. It is mentioned in the FM users guide and online help in connection with sound in container fields, but ther is no discussion of limits or editing functions for the sounds. If you make a container field, enter browse mode and double click on the empty container field, the recorder will pop up.
  2. Hello, I am using Filemaker 5.0 and 5.5 on windows 98/ME computers. I hace a file with a container field (audio note)that records or plays a spoken list of facts. The sound recorder that comes up will only record for 30 seconds. This is not long enough for some of the needed entries. Can this time be extended? Also can the sound file in this field be edited or added to from within Filemaker? Thank you for your time.
  3. I think I am learning something. Part of my business rents videos, DJ equipment and some musical instruments. I have a customer file and an inventory file. (not linked at this time) I want to have a rental agreement file that will get the customer info from the customer file (easy enough I think), and list all of the items rented for the transaction, a sub total, tax and total. (still not to tough). Here is where I loose it. The transaction can have one up to an unknown number of items rented. Also the inventory file has to be updated to show if the item is rented or returned and the customer who has the item out. Thank you all. Alan G
  4. quote: Originally posted by BobWeaver: It's not really a filemaker term. It generally refers to one of several repetitive items (from a related file, if done properly) that appears on a layout. In the case of an invoice, for example, it would refer to one of several items sold (one line per item). If you have the information in a repeating field on the invoice, why would you need it again in a line item file? Thank you for the help. Alan
  5. Hello, I am a novice database user. I have seen several people refer to a "line item file" as part of a solution. Could someone please tell me exactly what it is and in what cases you would use it. Thanks
