managing a family contact list

Hello,

I have been searching all over for an answer to this question.

I am working on a membership database. There are three membership types: individuals, companies, families. I can't figure out how to set up the families layout when I have a couple who have different last names at the same address (John Doe, Jane Smith). I would like to be able to be able to find both names when I run a find so putting both names in a last name field would not work in a find.

I'm pretty new to Filemaker but I know this has to be possible. Does someone have a sample layout?

I am working off the contact template that was included with FM 6.

Thanks,

MT

can't you buils a layout from the FAMILIES table and then search one of the members, build then a portal with all related members of the family (you got to make that relationship first) the you get all members, and you don't need to look for diferent members on a search.

good work
