I have a problem that I know you guys here will help me with (you guys are the best)!. I'll try to make the problem easy to understand - I have two account types PAY_IN and PAY_OUT. Now what I want is that whenever the record is of type PAY_IN I would like the serial number to increase, but if I add a PAY_OUT the serial number shouldn't change. Any ideas on how this could be done?? Thanks Agent Shooter

Yes Page Number is a global number field.

I have set up a script to obatin page number so on a printout I could have "Page 1 of 10". The script is like this: Enter Preview Mode [] Go to Record/Request/Page [Last] Set Field ["Page Number", "Status(CurrentPageNumber)"] Go to Record/Request/Page [First] Exit Script Now the problem is that when I print sometimes I get "Page 34 of 30" which is clearly wrong. Does anyone know what is happening?? If it helps, or explains it, I use Sub-Summary Parts and a Trailing Grand Total.

Ugo DI LUCA - Not really sure how to do what you say (your 2 cents). I really just need a place to write multiple comments for a particular item number (this is a unique number). I'll have to figure out how to add (for the people using this system) later. Deadline to meet!! THANKS EVERYONE

Now how would you add another line to the portal?? I've tired to add another one but it didn't seem to show up

I'm really not sure how to approach this problem at all. I'm just started to use FileMaker and don't really know any of it's features. I'm trying to set it up to add multiple lines per record. So one invoice could have 4 contacts (each with a date). I'm not sure how to set this up and was thinking about portals but not even sure if that would work. If you would like picture it like a directory tree: the invoice at the top then branching down to the dates and contact information (comments). It will only go to these two levels but how do I get file maker to do this.

What I'm trying to do is place multiple dates with one record using portals. I'm not sure I'm going about this in the right fashion so any help would be great! I have one record say an invoice number which = 1. Now with this invoice number 1 I need to keep a history of contacts made with the client. So somehting like: ___________DATE____________Comments ________- Jul 10/04_________Client wanted information Invoice 1 - Jul 12/04_________Information Client wanted was mailed ________- Jul 15/04_________Client called to confirm information was received Any help??
