Simple DB with 3 files

You will probably have to create a new quote records using scripts to create the indices needed to make the connections to the other two files. As to ways to preserve old addresses, this is a classic invoice problem. When a contact address changes, you don't want to change in on historical invoices, quotes, etc. This is one place where lookups still serve the purpose quite well. -bd

Thanks for comments. I am not very experienced with FM.

I have Contact Record automatically creating a Quote record, using scripts to copy and paste Company ID into new Quote and then return to Contacts and do the same with Contact ID. I am using Look Ups in Quote record. This all works but I am wondering if there is a more elegant way of doing it.

Also are there any good books on FM which you could recommend?

Thanks again.
