Like Jane I use Filemaker Pro
I also use Filemaker Pro (on Mac) 2200 records with more then 200 fields
(number is unlimited)
One of the things I don't like about filemaker is that you can't highlight
a lot of things and then copy them somewhere else. You have to export which
is much more time consuming so I'd like to be able to highlight a whole
record or a whole layout and copy it so I can quickly take it somewhere else.
There is a easy way (for Apple Mac at least) to copy and paste all the
information of one lay-out of one record:
choose the record and layout in question; then copy WITHOUT selecting a
field. All the information can then be pasted any where
As for fields the important thing would be to allow the individual to
create whatever they wanted.
It is very advisable to spread out the information over a large number
of fields to enable efficient use of the 'find mode' (rather than lumping
information in the same field)
Kind regards
