Thanks for the info. I was able to follow the instructions on the web page you pointed me up until the step of "Now create link from #50, field 2.1 --> 50.7." My Drug file (#50) is empty, and I can't enter new drugs. I get >Select DRUG GENERIC NAME: [I enter a drug name] ?? I must be missing a variable that must be set so that Fileman lets me edit the file. Thanks again. I will keep trying different things. Yamir Encarnacion
