About choosing a field type

When you define a field, you select a field type based on the kind of

information the field will contain. The field type determines what kind of data

can be entered and what kinds of operations FileMaker

Pro can perform with

the data. FileMaker

Pro uses the field type to interpret the data for tasks like

sorting records and performing calculations.
