Hi there, Feeling still like a newbie, so bare with me. I'm having problems setting up a simple invoice/invoicelines system..... To my unbelieve, the only templates, as far as I found, that come with version 7 Developer, show this solution with only 6 fixed lines.... I can't believe that something so trivial as a master / detail form is turning out to be such an headache.... or am I mistaking ?

Hi Forum, I would just like to know if anyone has any experience with a biometric interface, using FM ? I'm looking to implement a fingerprint scanner, but I'm not sure if this within FM's scope. Eric

Thanks Robert, this sure looks like a whole new approach ! I'll try this later today. Thanks again.

Thanks, I can't find this function in version 5.5, so I guess I've a very good reason to upgrade.....

Thanks Lee, I've just updated my profile. Please let me know if you need any additional info.

Thanks, I'm using 5.5. Are you saying this would be easier in version 7 ?

Sorry Lee, I didn't see your 2nd comment in time. You're right, these are text fields. In fact, at some point I must concatenate these 10 text fields into 1 text field. Ran into the next problem here..... But as I said, the first step is to underline the fields. The fields I must underline are actualy refering to other fields, and it's their value that will trigger the underlining. The fields to be underlined (or not) have a value from 1 till 0 (they represent scales, used in the MMPI test, used in psycology). A field must be underlined when the value of the field it refers to is equal or has a diference of 1 of the field that is next in line to. Are you still with me? This is one step in creating a code, called Hathaway, which is used to group the same kind of patients. Now, with your help, I'm now able to change a 1 into a "underlined" 1, etc. But, the next step is to put all the fields next to eachother, into a new text field. And here I ran into the next problem, because if I define this field as a calculation, and use something like field1 & field2 & field3... my underlines are gone again ! Any clues ? Thanks again !

Thanks again, Lee, copying and pasting as we speak ;-). It works !

I've been trying to print a report to a file, with the Print to file box checked in the Print dialogue, but whenever I specify the output file name, the application "hangs", and closing the Print window causes FM the exit.... Any clues ? Thanks

Thanks Lee, but how can I paste with style ?

Hi forum, I'm kind of a newbie, so bare with me.... The problem I'm having is that I need to underline a field value (between 0 and 9) whenever a certain condition occures. The closest I came (I think) to the solution was to create a dummy table, with 10 fields, with values from 0 to 9, which I underlined "manualy". They store fine, whenever I browse that table, the values are still underlined. But when I, within a script, use the Set Field function to paste the underlined value from the dummy table into the main table, the program does in fact execute the past, but the underline is gone...... Any clues ?
