Thread: Linking Rows
View Single Post
Thanks,
I agree it's a minimal database. I've used Filemaker since version 3 and have found it a very functional and useful database but it wouldn't work well for this type of thing either. I liked version Filemaker v6 best. In version 7 their improvment tried to clone MS Access and Apple (Filemaker Co. is wholly owned by Apple) and the application's ease of use was lost. Omnigroup sent me this EMail below so hopefully 4.0 will come out soon
Thx, MJ

Hi M
Thanks for contacting us. As was posted on the forums in your thread, you're trying to create a database. OmniOutliner doesn't have a sense of viewing 'Jill Jones' data. However.. for 4.0, we should be implementing cloning which would allow you to have the same rows entered multiple times in the same outline and would automatically update all entries when one was modified. So, if you wanted to have all the Jill Jones data listed in both places, then it's kinda halfway what you're looking for.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
