>I am using ebase v1.02 and Filemaker Pro5. Thanks, that helps provide answers that apply to your situation.
>I have some questions on customizing my files. >1. I want to add a list of things to "Purchases" (event/item) and >"Member Types." How can I do this? The items on these lists (and many others) are stored in Value Lists within each file. You need to be logged in with the master-level password to edit these lists. - Make sure you are in the payments file on the Payment Entry screen (from the home screen, click the View Payments button, then the Payment Entry button) - Go to layout mode - select the field with the list you want to edit. For example, the field labeled Event in the Purchases section. - select the menu item Format>Field Format. You see in the dialog box that the field is formatted with a popup list using the value list Event Name List - select the menu item File>Define Value Lists. You'll see a dialog box with a list of the Value Lists. - Select the list you want to edit, for example, Event Name LIst and click the Edit button - Add items to the list. - Click Done - repeat for each list you want to edit. >2. I want to add boxes to the Bio Card and Names Card. How can I do >this? I'm going to guess that by "Card" you mean what I would call "screen". People generally identify screens by the label at the top of the colored area on the right, with the buttons. I'm not at all sure what you mean by "adding boxes". Do you need to add fields, or values to the Affiliations field on the Bio screen? I'll need you to be more specific. >3. When there are two or more names on the Names and Data Entry Cards >they do not show up in the main area. When I want to print a list of >names they do not show up there either. I have lost them completely. >How can I get these back on the cards? You've got me pretty puzzled here. There are spaces for two names on the Data Entry screen. You say "when there are two or more..." Don't know where you're putting the "or more" names. Further, you say there are names on the Names and Data Entry Cards, which don't show up in the main area. Don't know what you mean by Names Card or Main area. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
