k) If you need a list of all the phones listed in the programs, you can do the same procedure as in steps b) through f), and than steps h) through j). That means copy and paste both fields, but the only thing you will have to do is change tele1 to tele2 (up to tele5) in both IFF(EMPTY(Programs.tele1),””, “Phone1:”), and  ALLTRIM(Programs.tele1). You also have to change Phone1 to Phone2 (up to Phone5) in field IFF(EMPTY(Programs.tele1),””, “Phone1:”). See the next picture.

l) Exactly the same thing you would do to insert Web Site and Fees of the program:

m) To insert Website: Copy and paste two fields:  IFF(EMPTY(Programs.tele1),””, “Phone1:”), and  ALLTRIM(Programs.tele1). Change tele1 to url, and change “Phone1: “ to “Web Site:”.

n) To insert Fees: Copy and paste two fields:  IFF(EMPTY(Programs.tele1),””, “Phone1:”), and  ALLTRIM(Programs.tele1). Change tele1 to fees, and change “Phone1: “ to “Fees:”. See the picture
