August 22, 200223 yr I am looking at purchasing FMP now that I'm moving to OS X. I've looked at the demo, but one thing I would like to do I haven't delved into deeply enough to know if it is possible. Currently I use OmniForm to manage data for a two-page form we use regularly. For a given proejct, there may be 10 to 200 records for each form. Most of the data is entered on screen, other information is added by round tripping tab-delimited files to FoxPro or Excel. The forms eventually need to be printed and/or made into a PDF file using Distiller/Acrobat. Is it possible to create two input pages for an FMP database and have the two pages printed consecutively for each record?
August 22, 200223 yr In short, yes. What you'd likely do is create a number of input screens (each on a separate layout) with buttons to take the user forward and backward through them for data entry. Then a separate layout could be used to arrange the fields in the appropriate configuration for your report. Layouts can be made many pages log by dragging the body divider down the screen. the second page simply sits below the first in layout mode - and prints consecutively.
