Omitting blank address fields

[Simon UK]

Hi,

Just converted from Access to FM. Why does anybody use Access????

Wondering whether anybody can help me omit blank address rows when creating a letter i.e. I have fields as follows:

Add1

Add2

Town

County

Postcode

and of course not all addresses have an Add2 so any ideas on how to omit this when using the fileds in a letter??

Apologies if this is basic!

Kindest regards,

Simon

Welcome Simon

What you are looking for is "Set Sliding/Printing" - it's on the Format menu when in Layout mode - select a field and then set the sliding/printing properties.

More in the help system.

BTW, if you think FM is good, get yourself a Mac and run it on that - you'll be in heaven!

Hi,

Many many thanks for that. Simple eh? When you know how!

My colleague is insisting I get a Mac. I just can't live in a world with only 1 mouse button, it's just too weird!

Maybe one day.

Thanks again,

Simon

Macs have 4 mouse buttons, actually.

No way, in that case I have to get one!!!

Since last posting am becoming a Mac convert. Due a laptop upgrade in 2-3 months and I feel a visit to my local Apple store is needed!

I just love Filemaker and can't believe how easy it is to get started but how powerful it is too.

Brilliant.

Bye,

Simon
