while looking around online for some information regarding building my first FMP 18 database, I came across an excellent idea to add comments in a tab, which I'd love to reproduce in a simple Contacts DB. Unfortunately after nearly a week of trying (spare time), I've decided to ask for a little help as I'm getting confused about functionality & also how to set this up correctly.
Rather than describing the whole setup, I've attached the file.
The problem is as follows:
In the Comments layout, when the "Comments" tab is chosen, you'll see a "New Comment" button.
The idea works nicely - ie: I click the "New Comment" button and a new comment area appears.
Problem is, when a "New Comment" is added, the record count also increases.
I end up having 1 contact name, and 10 records - the remaining 9 are blank "contacts"
I suspect I'm not understanding the relationships or layouts to do this correctly, but any help or guidance will be very much appreciated.

Hope all the above makes sense.
Many thanks in advance.
