Terry, Scripting is much like other programming except there's less typing. I can't describe generating reports in FMP so concisely.

Play with it, take it apart, see how the few pieces work and you'll know how to structure the most common type of report.
I'll send it off list. ---------- >From: Terry Bohach <terryb at mac.com> >To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu >Subject: Re: MacGroup: FileMakerPro >Date: Wed, Feb 11, 2004, 12:27 PM > > I have been working on a FMP Database and need someone that has good FMP > knowledge/Skill. > > I have worked on other DBs and just need someone that can help bring > together some loose ends and stuff that more related to how FMP does > things.
