    Hi, I’m brand-new to Tapforms, but I was a devotee of Filemaker Pro about 20 years ago. I’m trying to recreate an invoice form from back then in which I used fields that were formatted as tables. That is, you could enter multiple values in the same field to create a matrix. For example, in my invoice form I had one field for DATE, but it was a column with 6 or so lines. Correspondingly, every other field involved with the calculation (and so formatted) had the same amount of lines or rows, so the information would line up with the appropriate date. So, I could list items from different dates, and total up the amounts. Is there anything like this in Tapforms?

    Thanks
    Greg

    OK, so I have to edit my post. The term I’m looking for is REPEATING FIELDS, not tables. Sorry, it’s been a long time.

    The question still stands, just substitute the terms.

    Hi Greg,

    The closest thing to that is available with the Link to Form field where you connect one form to another form via a relationship.

    See the online user manual topic on Relationships for more information:

    Thanks!
