Search fields based on specific parameters

Featured Replies

Hello! Although I'm extremely new to FileMaker I really need help finding an efficient solution:

1] I need to create a custom interface in FileMaker where a user can search a data base based on three parameters [ie: state, name, place] that will result in a a generated list based on their specifications.

2] After that, there should also be a place on the [form?] where they can generate a mailing list/labels.

I truly hope someone can point or guide me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Sara

Sara,

A user can enter find mode, enter the search parameters into the three fields, find the records, then use the found set of records to go to a print layout.

Otherwise, try setting up a second table occurance to your table, with the relationship based on globals that the user enters for the three parameters, and then click a button to go to related records to the second table occurance, then go to the print layout for that found set.

It helps if you can post an attachment of your file.
