View as List

[crow]

I have a layout with header, body, trailing grand summary, and footer. The body has 6 fields, it is not showing all the records it should. I get just one record. I thought I had a relationship issue but I put a portal in the header and it shows all of the records correctly. I am also using sliding/printing so I can print this list view out.

Any thoughts why list view gives me just one record but portal shows all the records? I am scrolling and the header and footer stays put. Printing provides the same results.

In the View menu, choose the "View as List" command.

Also check that the found set contains more than one record.

I have View as List checked. In fact I have the other two disabled under Layout Setup-views. My portal placed in the header shows two records. If I go to layout which has the data entry, I find two records.

I will add that my background is in PHP/MySQL, all these GUI tools in fmp are newer to me. Am I correct in saying it should just make another body part for each record? I feel like I need to do one more step since I just get one record in list view.

"I have View as List checked."

OK... while in Browse mode, choose "Show all records" from the Records menu. See if that brings up all the records.

Ohhh, another idea: make sure the layout is set to exactly the same Table Occurrance as the data entry layout. (I bet that's the problem).

Thanks for your help. The problem was related to the table I was pointing to with the layout. Got my first correct report printed out :
