Hi Folks,
I haven't used FileMaker in a couple of years, so I am a little rusty.
I have checked FileMaker Support and Knowledge Base pages, as well
as a general Google inquiry but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I would like to create a "Report Layout" with the records in columns
and fields in rows - this is not an option in any of the Layout
Templates, where the fields are in columns and the records in rows.
Can someone put me out of my misery?
This is for a project I'm doing for the Bunbury Entertainment Centre
on a volunteer basis.
Thanks in advance

Filemaker's Layout Mode does not support this in any way. In fact I'm
struggling to think of any database tool that does. By their very
nature, you are always going to have many more records than fields, so
a vertical arrangement of records displaying a set number of fields
(allowing "endless" scrolling) is the natural and obvious approach.
It's also much easier to make sense of.
Do you have any examples of the model you are trying to reproduce?
