Browsing information
You view, enter, or change data in Browse mode. This is the simplest way to interact with your database.
In this lesson you will:
1 open a database with data already in it
1 move between records
1 view information in different ways by switching layouts
1 see the difference between Form View, List View, and Table View
1 explore the status toolbar
1 save a copy of the database
Open a database and move between records
To open the sample database:
1. Open the Tutorial folder on your hard drive. For the tutorial folder location, see “Where to find
the sample file” on page 8.
2. Open Sample.fmp12.
1 The database is in Browse mode. FileMaker Pro defaults to Browse mode when a database
is opened.
1 The status toolbar shows there are 29 records in the sample database. The first record is
displayed.
