Storing Data?

[MetroGirl]

I work for a doctor, and on the patient tracking database I'm working on, I have 3 Diagnosis pop-up menus. I need to store the diagnosis information from previous patient visits somewhere. Can someone suggest a way to do this? Is there a button I can create? Basically I need to have this information available and have it not take up too much space...seeing as the patients return every couple weeks. I've very new at filemaker pro, and I'm having a hard time figuring out the more complex solutions. Thanks a lot.

This would be a great use of a related file. Put you diagnosis info for each patient in a Diagnosis file and relate the two via the Patient ID. When you create the relationship click on the 'Allow Creation of Related records. Now create a portal in your Patients database using the relationship you just created and put the diagnosis fields in the portal. Now it won't matter whether you have two or ten or ... diagnosis record for a patient. They'll show up in the portal.
