Please forgive me as I'm rather new to FMP. I am wanting to create a database that would allow contacts to be sorted like a family tree. Kind of like network marketing. Each contact could have multiple contacts(children) underneath them and I would like to be able to show all info for each contact (child) under then in say a portal. Please enlighten me.

Anything on this post of any help?

Thanks for the reply Efan. Unfortunately that link didn't answer my question. Let me try to state what I am desiring to do more clearly. I have a personnel database and each of the personnel are attached to someone who has brought them into the company (kind-of like network marketing). I would like to be able to have a portal or file tree structure that shows the lineage or down-line. Hope this helps explain

Perhaps this can help:

One last thing. Here is the simplest way I can explain it: Say I have a bunch of employees and each employee has a manager. Each employee could be the manager of multiple employees. Each employee record would have a manager field. I would like to have a portal on each employee's record that shows who there employees are. How might I go about this? The forums linked in the other replies so far have not helped. Thanks

Is the attached any nearer what you require?

I understood you the first time. The thread I linked to shows how to display the lineage of each record; the thread referenced there explains how to show descendants.

Why didn't they help? It is not helpful to us to get a reply that says nothing.

Why not post a copy of your file of what you have so far.

Here is what I've got thus far.
