I'm working on my first FM database (v8.5), & have a basic
question on how to best structure it.
I've set up two tables. The first (Main) has approx. 40 records
corresponding to the contracts I manage. The second table (Contacts)
will have about 30 records, as some contracts share a common contacts
record. I've designed a Layout using the Main table, which in Form
View, shows me one record. I'd like to be able hit a button on this
layout which will jump to the related Contacts record. Should I use a
tab control? Do I need to define a relationship between the two
tables?

Go to layout mode, choose the buttom tool from the status bar and put it
on your layout. Attach the step "go to related record" to that buttom.

Absolutely.
