Thank you for your reply. I got it fixed thanks to your solution. It was a simple matter as you suggested to copy the value from the address field instead of the company code. Thanks again for yours and Tpaairman's help and time! Very much appreciated...this was driving me crazy 🙂 Have a great Easter weekend.

Thanks to both of you for your help so far. Maybe to help explain it better, the way I had initially set this up many, many versions ago and the way it used to work was upon creation of a new record, I tabbed to the Company Code field and I entered the specific Company Code I had assigned for each clients company that they worked for, upon doing that it automatically populated the address field with that client's company address and ALSO populated the Company name field with the company's full name; all based on the acronym I used for that client's code. Set up like that all I had to do was enter a few initials in the Company Code field and it filled out the other two fields sparing me having to type all that info in. Somewhere along the way, whatever happened, it now populates the address field with the company code and not the address. However, it does correctly fill in the company name field with the company name so it's only the address field as it relates to the company code field that, to me, is broken. Many thanks again for your help with this and more importantly for your time. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your response Tpaairman 🙂 should I check the relation in the older version, which may be a problem as I no longer have that version as it won't run on my current Mac OS; Catalina. I tried to open it and got the message that it wasn't compatible. If I check in the current version of FM (I'm running v16) exactly where and how would I do that...sorry for inexperience. Thanks again.

I have this old invoice form I set up a very long time ago using one of the earlier versions of FM. Somehow my Company Code field and connected address field got "broken". When I type in the initials for a given company then hit tab it prompts me to lookup previous year version of FM, and generally I use last year's record since most of my clients have been with me for many many years. Well, as a result of getting messed up instead of the company's address being filled in the address field it's repeating the initials of the company code. I've included screenshots showing the layout for the invoice form, then the specify field box, then the "manage database for 23 client list", then I hit the options button to open the "for company code" field. Then hit "specify" to open "Lookup for company code" field. No tsure where to go with this or what to do to remedy. Should I be working with the "address" field instead of the Company Code field for starters? Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Jesse, Thanks much. Appreciate your help!

Using FM Pro 16 on a Mac with Mojave. I have an existing invoice form for my business I set up many, many years ago and would like the names describing the check number field, check date field and check amount fields to print out on hard copies of the invoices after I've filled in those fields and marked them paid. I've dug through the layout in layout form and can't seem to find where I can mark those field names/labels to print when I print out a copy. The check number, check date and check amount do print out. I've attached a screenshot of my invoice in layout form. Thanks much in advance for any help.

When I went to file options, text tab, I discovered neither Asian nor Roman were checked; the problem was corrected after I checked Roman. Thanks for the help!

Thanks. Where do I check to see if "line Wrapping" is on, because as I mentioned my words are being broken when I get to the limit of the text field.

I've searched Filemaker Help and can't seem to find anywhere to set "hyphenation" on. I'm typing in an invoice description (for types of services rendered) field and when getting to the end of the text box, it's not hyphenating the words, forcing me to manually enter a "return" to type on the next line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
