Using View as Table

A FileMaker Pro feature called "View as Table" allows you to see your data in a row and column format (similar to an Excel spreadsheet or an Access datasheet.) To see this feature, open any file. Click the View menu on the menu bar. First, notice whether this layout is currently set to 'View as Form' or 'View as List.' Then change this setting to 'View as Table.' You will see the table view.

* Right click on any column to resize it or sort

* Use the mouse to move columns ... you may want to see two columns side-by-side. Feel free to do this -- it will not affect the regular layout.

* When you are done, click View on the menu bar, and go back to View as Form or View as List. (View as Form shows one record at a time and view as list shows multiple records.)
