HI,

i START USING FILEMAKER FOR A FEW DAYS NOW. I'M TRYING TO BUILD A DATABASE WITH CUSTOMERS AND THEN A NEW LAYOUT IN WHICH IF SOMEONE ENTER A UNIQUE ID CODE OF THE CUSTOMER IT WILL SHOW ALL HIW DETAILS IN A SINGLE LINE AND THEN FROM BELOW YOU CAN ENTER ANOTHER ONE AND SHOW YOU THE NEXT CUSTOMER DETAILS AND SO ON. SO IN ONE PAGE U HAVE MANY CUSTOMERS DETAILS BUT CUSTOMISING BY ENTERING HIS UNIQUE ID CODE SO U DONT HAVE TO REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT 'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW CAN I GIVE A UNIQUE ID NUMBER TO EACH CUSTOMER ENTRY AND THEN HAVE SOME LINE IN WHICH U ENTER THE CUSTOMER ID IN EACH LINE AND U GET THE DETAILS AUTOMATICALLY? LIKE EXCEL IN SEPERATE FIELDS: FOR EXAMPLE FIELD 1 ->CUSTOMER ID, FIELD 2 -> NAME, FIELD 3 -> ADRESS FIELD 4-> AGE AND E.T.C.sO WHEN I ENTER THE CUSTOMER ID I GET THE REST AND ON THE LINE BELOW THE SAME THING. cAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OR MAKE ME UNDERSTAND HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS?

THANK YOU
