How do you create a tab portal or single page portal view for browsing
multiple address records for a contact in Filemaker 7? Ideas for using
a technique similar to the "Business Tracker" sample from
Filemaker.com. The contact layout has a button to add secondary
addresses and you navigate through them with tab graphics. In other
words, the layout would allow two or more addresses in a non scrolling
portal. Then navigation arrows or tabs would scroll through portal
records. The tricky part is the interface.
This solution would not be multiple layouts for a couple of addresses.
It needs to handle two or more (like ten addresses).
I need a tutorial on creating this layout with a complex many-2-many
relationship. A sample database would help, yet a tutorial or book as
a quickstart guide would be ideal. |
