When I open custom_.fp5, I get a custom table with the same number of records in it as in names....I look up value lists in that file, and only get one, that is set for a merge field. Researching this, I go into layout to determine whether the code is any different (since it also shows up on this custom table page)...same gig.
We have some consulting scheduled for ebase, so I may just wait to have someone sitting at my computer to figure this thing out--unless you have any other ideas as to where I might look...
Thanks!!

Open file custom_fp5. Some has set up a file that is not in the normal eBase set.

Tried that and ran into a dead end...that is, there is a value list "Code", but the look-up list references file custom_.fp5....and somehow having problems accessing this.
So, I double click on the "code" field in the value list and I get a dialogue box referencing custom_.fp5, with a option checked "use values from fields specify from custom_.fp5" so then I hit the "specify" button and gives me a list of fields. I select "code" and it gives me information that the values are from the custom_.fp5 file, but no custom values.....and I cant seem to call up what the values are from the file.....
Any suggestions?

The list of values for the popup list is provided by a value list, in
this case apparently called "code". If you are in fact getting a
popup list with these values when you attempt to enter data in this
field, there must be a value list of this name. Be sure you are in
the names file, and select the menu item File>Define Value Lists. The
dialog presented will contain a list of the value lists.

The only way to use ebase to print labels, for example, is to import
the names. If don't want to import them, you could use some other
process, such as merging into a Word layout, for example. The danger
is that you will prospect people who are already supporters.
Importing them into ebase gives you the chance to check for
duplicates with your existing list.
