Default what is wrong? - 12-29-2006 , 10:48 AM






Starting from a existing database (books) i made a new database.
It was my intention to make (using copy and paste) a video database.
And more, a database where i can insert more items at 1 tape (or disk).
Now, using the copy paste method i have the next problem.
If i do some inputs the other lines are showing the same input.
How can i change that?

Might have something to do with the fact that you have 8 copies of the same
field (Tracks) on the layout. Go into layout mode, double-click on the
fields, and switch them to the one that matches the heading.

The other 17 fiedls are gone.

You might also try to re-think your strategy. If all these files are alike,
I would just add a categoryfield.

Yes; the Tracks field is formatted as a "repeating" field and the other ones
are not. You must also set all corresponding fields to be repeating as well.

Create a value list, containing all the values you need
create a field
put the field on your layout
connect the field to your value-list and select menu or radiobuttons or
whatever it is you need,
When creating a record select the value this record will represent.
