In FileMaker Pro 6 I am creating a database that will track meeting minutes, agendas, action items, attendees, etc.

I plan on dividing up the layout into different sections according to the different departments of our Real Estate company, for example Business Development, Sales, Closing Department.

Within those sections I would like to have an outline in which the outline numbers or letters are created by FM upon prompting by the user as with Word outlines.

Is this possible?

Here is a file that I used the other day for a project. You have to (well I did anyway) really study the way it works, or you can get confused. I suggest that you make a couple of copies until you get the hang of it.

This link (http://www.fmfiles.com/enduserbus5.html)

proved to be extremely helpful.

It has inspired me to ask a new question: what and how do you create a selfjoined relationship?

A Self Join relationship is the same as a relationship between two files separate files. They are set exactly the same way, the only difference is that you are creating both parts of the relation within one same file.

I hope that I understood your question correctly, if not, ask away.

Hello,

I think this template (http://www.fmfiles.com/enduserbus5.html) could work for my needs. Thanks for your guidance.

I have a question about it. In the lists layout how do you set it up sot that all of the records are visible?

When I create a new record it makes a new page but i cannot see all of them listed on the lists layout.

Why is that and how can I fix it?

thank you!

Christian

ok, so i was in the wrong view!! thanks!

I told you that it wasn't easy to figure out without fooling with a lot. My guess is that you need to "Find All" records when in List View.
