In Filemaker Pro, I can't select multiple records in a database.

I need to select 30 of 100 records, then try to find a Hide Unselected command. This way I can print alist of just the 30 records I selected, then revert back to showing the whole database. In Appleworks, I could hold the Command or Shift keys to do this.


I realize this is probably really simple, but I appreciate any help.

Never mind.


I made a copy of the database so I wouldn't screw up the real one.


I used the Omit Records Command to delete the ones I didn't need, then printed it out, as the database was showing just the records I wanted.


I also used the Show Ommitted Only command to print the others as I needed that list also.


After selecting Show All Records, it reverted back to the original full datbase.


I realize now that Omit is not the same as Delete.


It's good to get the solution to a problem, even better when you figure it out yourself.
