Making all fields from all records display at one time

[bxb11]

What I'd like to do is, after inputing data into 2 or more records, is
have a button you can click on that will display all the fields from all
the populated records in one scrolling window. The user has to be able
to copy the text that appears in that window to paste in another program.

Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Your user probably doesn't need to see the big list of al lrecords and
all fields. You can automate it:

Create a 'columnar list/report' type of layout (using FMP's built-in
layout wizard, put all your fields on it and call it 'All Fields'.

Now, back on your user layout add a button that runs the following script:

Freeze Window
Show All Records
Sort[Restore, No Dialog]
GoTo Layout [All Fields]
Copy All Records
GoTo Layout [Original Layout]
# And then to go back to the last record created...
Unsort
Goto Record [Last]

The record data is now on theclipboard. The user can go over to the
other app and paste.
