Please help me,

I am a rockie when it comes to filemaker, but have been playing around this weekend and finally started to created my database. I'm stuck now though as I want to work with three tabswhere fill in information to make things easier for the users. When I add fields on a different tab they keep on overlapping when I preview. I want different fields in the different layers. How does it work?

Please help me so I can crack on.

Thanks

Frida

Portals are not meant to be printed. You should print the data from the related Table or file (where the actual data is maintained).

Thanks,

So do I need to create a portal on the individual tabs and then put the feilds in them? Gosh it is all so confusing. Basically I have created three tabs and defined all the feilds in the database.Although i have not created any portals. Not sure what a portal is...

Maybe I am a bit thick... Sorry for the stupid questions...

Lee prob. meant TABs are not meant to be printed.

Use a different Layout for Input (with tabs) and Print (without), or simply change view to table view for printing.

Hi Frida,

I thought you had placed a portal in the Tab, and were trying to print that. It might be helpful to see a sample of your file.

As [color:blue]Christian said, there are ways to print out the data, it's just a matter of what will work the best for your needs.
