Hi,
I just stared using FMP and as I expected i hit a wall...
I created a table and with created tab controls. When I input data on the fist tab control named "insured information" and do a search it works correctly by giving me back info of how many of a type are in the data base.
My problem is on the "Insured Dependents tab" where within the are another set of tab control named "First Insured, Second Insured ect..."
When I do a search for Joe Doe on "First insured" tab which I have entered on the "Second Insured" tab it will not find Joe Doe. It says No records match this find criteria, but hen I do the search on the "First Insured" tab I can find the data with no problem.
I think the problem is because each tab is acting it's own table.
How do I fix this problem in which I want to do a search and be able to find everyone that I'm looking for without having to go into each tab???

Thanks for all of your help.
Create a relationship between the two tables in the relationship graph, connection zk_InsuredID in both. You'll probably want a field to indicate who it the primary insured. This can be a text field called "Primary" with a value list that contains just "Primary" or "Primary" and "Dependent" as values. If it's just one value, use a checkbox, if it's both values, use a Radio Button.
Use the Portal Tool to create a Portal in the Insured layout (instead of your current multiple tabs) based on the relationship and make the portal area big enough to show all the fields that you have for each Individual. You can probably tighten up the field spacing so that you can see at least two portal rows in the area you have now.
