hello everybody, thank you for your input. i am going to try that right now. i will keep you updated. thank you sandy

Again, I apoligize if this is so basic... This is what I am trying. 1) I open a new file - call it invoice 2) Design my file 3) When that is all done, of course I want the same look to the database, so I then choose duplicate layout? 4) But how can I save it as a different name - such as inventory (trouble spot) 5) So, now I have 2 files (correct term?) 6) Then I go to my first file - invoice 7) I select a graphic (button) that I've labeled "inventory" 8) Now I know I am supposed to go to Script Maker and create a script called -- Open file ["inventory"] but for some reason its not letting me create that. 9) Then I know I am supposed to select the graphic (button) labeled "inventory" and format this button -- which I know how to do that So, basically, I just wanted to know if I am going about all this correctly, and if someone can please tell me how to do numbers 4 & 8. Thank you much for any input, Sandy

hi john, yes, i was doing the tutorials... and looking thru google. but still was getting confused. i will keep trying. thank you

Hello everyone, I am so so glad I stumbled onto this forum. I have just bought the program, and want to use it for my little business of selling t-shirts & accessories at local fairs here in California. I see that I could definitely make use of the templates that come with it, such as (inventory, purchase order, contatcts). I will be trying to tweak a few things here and there, such as making the purchase order into an invoice form. My question is this: I would want to tab between all the forms, but just don't know how to do it... I've spent the whole day/night on this. I'm having a feeling its something pretty simple. Firstly, do I need to put all the forms that I will be using into one folder, so they can recognize where they are? Sorry if this sounds silly, but I am going crazy here. I have been trying to read thru the posts, but still don't get it. Also, do you know of a way that once I input all my inventory, each invoice I make, will it automatically deduct from my invoice count? Sorry if this seems too many questions, but I would really appreciate any feedback possible, or to point me into a direction, or if it would be easier for me to purchase already made forms? Sorry this is so long. Thank you Sandy
