Can I do this with a Container Field

[RogerJ]

I may have posted in the wrong forum, so please forgive me. In any case I have a prospective membership database of over 3000 entries, with over 100 members registered in an organization. I would like to create a membership certificate to be printed from info in the FMP database. I would like to be able to open the database, "Find" the members, click on a link (or??) and have the information (name, membership number) be filled in from the "Find", then printed. Is this possible using a container field, and if so, how?

If you want to keep everything inside FileMaker then all you need to do is create a 'membership certificate' layout and then script the following:

- do a find for those members you need to print it for

- go to the certificate layout

- loop through each record of the found set and print the certificate

If you want to print the certificate from another application (like Word) then it becomes more complex because it will involve exporting your found set and then triggering an action in Word to import that data and do the printing.
