Newbie questions?

Hi guys

I´m very newbie in File Maker, and I´m using the 8.0 Advanced version.

I´m creating a very simple database to organize my clients.

This is the right place to ask newbie stuff?

I have 2 questions.

1. I´m using "Checkbox Set" to select the areas which our Design Office works (like web, branding etc) for each client. But when i select some options for the first client, the second has the same options selected... how I unlink that options ?

2. I save all of my clients e-mails in a office document, how I just link that docs to open like a button to me see and edit in Office (Open Office for me). It´s simple... but impossible for me... :(

Thanks guys, and sorry for my english errors!

Have you specified the field as global by any chance?

2. Send Event[ "C:My DocumentsMy Emails.doc" ]

-- Would probably be better if you stored all your email addresses in your database though.

Well... I do what you said and with the help file together I think and worked: File/Define/Database/Field Name(two clicks with mouse)/storage (tab)/ and deselected the option "Use Global Storage (one value for all records)".

That´s right?

About the second question, that´s ok... I will do like i ever do, put every e-mail in a office´s document and open like before.

Thanks a lot for the help Australian Friend! :(
