Q: I have some fields that I want to print the same on the front and back of the card, but when I put data fields on the back, the software wants me to re-enter the information when I go to create the card in the Data Entry Center! Is there any way to save me from all this typing?

A: You can have data fields echo the data in other fields, and even combine the values from several data fields in one. First, you need to create at least one data field on the card that will have information entered in it. Then, to echo that data in another place, create a new data field. When the New field dialog is up, instead of selecting text or number in the Data Type field, select Concatenate from the list. (At the bottom.) You will then be prompted to associate an existing data field with this concatenated field. Simply select the field you want from the left box, click on the associate arrow (>>), and the field will move to the right box. The data entered in the first field will now also be entered into this field.
