Hey, thanks both you for your input. As soon as I can I will check that solution you attached and making each card a single entity is the way to go. But in this case, I want something more simple. Let's say this: FIELD: TOTAL CARDS in collection (user input # of cards) FIELD: Checklist (auto generated checklist from user input. Each number with a functional checkbox). FIELD: CARDS I HAVE (auto generated count value from the checked numbers in the checklist) FIELD: CARDS MISSING (auto generated count value from TOTAL CARDS minus CARDS I HAVE) That's it. Know this is very basic, but I handle collections of several hundreds items and it is prone to error, and takes a long time, to type a list of numbers manually in a text box. I will update my profile as soon as I can. Using version 13 OS X Thanks!

Of course, I´m not asking for the complete solution/script. Just some hints on how to do it and I will do it myself.

Yes, thanks. For example, I have a database of trading cards collection. Each collection has a diffente amount of cards. Let´s say that collection #1 (Batman 1966 series) has 99 trading cards. But I don´t own all of them, so I need to create numbered list from #1 to #99 to mark which ones I own and which ones I don´t. So that´s what a check list is for. The problem is that for each record I need a different checklist. Some collections have 99 cards, some other 127, etc. So for each record I need to enter the size of the checklist and Filemaker pro has to create a checklist of that size. Something like the image I´m attaching here. I also need, if possible, to perform an inventory calculation for each record, based on the items checked on the list.

Sorry, I´m absolute new to FileMaker. I'm trying to create a checklist like those found in collectible trading cards. Each record in my database has a collection of trading cards. Each collection has a different number of cards. So, when I enter the size of a collection, let´s say 127, I need Filemaker pro to create a checklist with 127 numbered checkboxes on the fly. I need the checkbox list to be functional, that is, when I click an a checkbox, it performs a simple inventory calculation. Is that possible? I hope it is! I speak Spanish, sorry, if I didn´t explain myself correctly let me know and I will try again. Thanks! Enrique
