We print designs to different products and sell them online. I am using FMP to keep all the information about the individual items we print to and the many designs we can print to those items. from these separate PRODUCT and DESIGN databases I am trying to create a merged file to upload to the webstores. I don't need any of the export information stored .. just exported like a mailmerge. the DESIGN_CODE will match many records the PROD_CODE will match one. For the example in the database I shared in my last post: 1) the user is prompted for DESIGN_CODE and PROD_CODE 2) FM finds ALL the matching DESIGN_CODE records 3) for each DESIGN record being exported - an export field will be created that combines the text from the current PROD_DESC record from PRODUCTS and the text from the SINGLE record found based on the input in the DESIGN table. in basic old fashion programming logic: (obviously in just logic/concept form as I have not worked with FMP scripting and don't know the syntax yet) get user input DESIGN_CODE from tableDESIGN (will be many records) get user input PROD_CODE from tablePRODUCTS (will be one record) var NUM_OF_DESIGNRECORDS = number total PROD_CODE records matching while NUM_OF_DESIGNRECORDS > 0 do export export PRODUCT:PROD_CODE as field PROD_CODE export DESIGN:DESIGN_CODE as field DESIGN_CODE export DESIGN:DESIGN_SUBCODE as field DESIGN_SUBCODE export calculation of PRODUCT:PROD_DESC + " - " + DESIGN:DESIGN:DESC as field COMB_DESC (simply adding both product and design descriptions with a dash inbetween) export PRODUCT:PRICE as PRICE NUM_OF_DESIGNRECORDS = NUM_OF_DESIGNRECORDS - 1 end LOL I am sure the logic and loop above reveal that I am old school as I was a computer science major when FileMaker was first released in 1985 I am including an image to help visualize my request: in yellow: the records found based on user input of KRING for PRODUCT and FLWR for DESIGN in pink are the fields needed from the PRODUCT records found in red are the fields needed from multiple DESIGN records found

Hello, Yes, this is something I can do for you. I have already used your provided information to create a sample file which you can take a look at. The file will open automatically using a non-admin account, though of course if you take me on for this work I will provide you with the full solution. I just need to work out how to provide you with my demo file as I cannot see anywhere here to add an attachment. Update: I have put the file into my Dropbox and you should be able to download it using this link: [login to view URL] You can also watch me using the file in a screen recording I made on Youtube here: [login to view URL] Many thanks, Sky

Hello I have over 28 years extensive experience with Filemaker Pro (almost as far back as when you first used the original FileMaker as well) and have developed, deployed and maintained many instances from very large and complex down through to small more simple deployments. I can help you to build the export script that you are looking for, I did have a look at your project details and attached image and it is doable. If you would like to contact me with some further details, including which version of FMP you are currently running and also what system you are looking to upload to for your webstore(s), we can discuss further and confirm from there. Thank you Darren Edit: After looking at your attached image again, it appears you want to search for a PROD_CODE and a DESIGN_CODE that are not currently related through any primary/foreign key (ie. the FLWR records do not contain the KRING PROD_CODE field), is that correct? Either way it is still doable to create a one-to-many output relationship and export the combined data details as a csv file.
