Are you looking to have the history field populated as a result of another action such as creating another record or do you just want to have &nbsp;button that adds a line to the history field using today's date and pulling the diameter value from another field?

I have a save button everytime someone adds to the record, so I assume that could be used to populate the field with the current information.

Good morning, <br />
<br />
&nbsp; I assume someone more experienced with FMPro will be able to solve this pretty quickly. <br />
<br />
&nbsp; I am using FMPro 8.5 Advanced.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I have a database that is keeping track of parts that get ground down over time to make them smooth. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; One of the requests, and the last piece I need to finish, is a &quot;History Field&quot;. &nbsp;This field will keep track of the date of each grind and the diameter of the object at that point. <br />
<br />
Basically I want to make a list that will be in one large, scrollable field, that will have both the date timestamp and my diameter field in it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; This seems like it should be simple and I am just making it over complicated. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Keep track of history of 2 fields within a record.

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
