How to Proceed

[ngwaltne]

Hey all, I am called upon occasionally to work with filemaker. Hence my novice status.

I have been asked to create a db that tracks students successful completion of standards. This is a school setting and I have a db of all students (stinfo.fp5). Yes, need to work with 5.5 on this. I should be able to search for a group of students and come up with the standards (standards.fp5) based on grade level for a subject area. I am assuming i will need to work with a portal, but don't have a lot of experience.

I have begun populating standards.fp5 with all the standards info.

I have attached a concept of the db.

Any help getting started would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Probably too broad a question. Basically I have 700 standards for school subjects. I have about 450 students and need to check off the standards met for each of the students. Not sure how to approach this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
