    I am building a database for music promotion. At some point we will want to print records for specific clients and the musical groups they hired for various events.

    Also, at some point we’ll want to print info about each musical group we represent to see all the events they were hired to do, which includes all the various clients that hired them.

    How can we select records where a particular field contains a specific value, like the client name and where only those records display. Then, how do we print those records? Can we export the selected records?

    Thank you!

    Hello Carol,

    Certainly. The answer to all your questions is yes, Tap Forms can do all of that.

    See the chapter in the online manual about searching:

    http://www.manula.com/manuals/tap-zapp/tap-forms-mac/3/en/topic/searching

    Basically you click the gear button and then setup your search rules and click the Save button to create a Saved Search.

    When you are displaying your subset of the records, whatever you do will operate just on those. So if you export your records, you’ll get just the found records. If you print the records, you can print all the found records or just the selected records.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
