Dean, thank you, yes the request for a possible solution went out to
everyone, but addressed it specifically to Peter 'cos I know that he
uses Filemaker Pro. Onno and Peter both came up with solutions, which
have worked well, which involve customising the layout, as you suggest.
regards, Susan.

Hi Susan,
Assuming Peter is anyone on the WAMUG list....??
Perhaps you could duplicate the layout then delete or change the text
colour(say to white to match the background) of the fields you do not
wish to see then switch between the layouts to access the fields or
hide them.
Good luck
Dean

Dear Peter, I am just beginning in Filemaker Pro v.7, setting up a
database for research results. I am wondering if there is a quick way
to be able to show/hide certain fields in the database. What I
specifically want to do is to be able to include identifying
material, such as names and contact details in the database as a
whole, and for my own benefit, but hide these specific details when
reporting on the study at a research seminar, or handing in my final
dissertation results. I'm hoping that you may know of a way, I've
searched the 'help' database, but doesn't seem to cover this
specifically. Cheers, Susan.
