Please Help! I spent the morning trying to make a field that automatically creates html for my eBay postings. I already have a database with all the fields of information & have the html template in GoLive.

I was hoping that I could some how create a some sort of mail merge field that would replace <<Headline 1>> with the text from the Headline 1 field. I want to be able to just copy and paste this information into my eBay posting (right now I open a Golive template, fill it , copy the source information, & paste it into eBay... and I want to be able to have FileMaker to do this for me, so I don't even have to have Golive open.)

It seems so simple, but this must be why I'm having a problem!

Note: I tried to do this as a Calculation, but my html is much longer than 256.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

JoE

I think the key is: "I tried to do this as a Calculation, but my html is much longer than 256."

Try breaking up your calc like so:

"some text" & "more text" & "yet more text" & "etc."

The 253 character limit only applies to each pair of quotes.

Thanks a ton! That worked out great! -JoE
