Since it is a radio button value list in the field . Is there a way to select or paste in the 1st radio button during find mode?

Hello I have a situation where I have a database made for other people. They have a value list which they have to change once a year. they will always have to do a find for the FIRST value of the value list. Is there a way to automate this? For example this year the first value of the value list is "greystone" and next year the first value might be "rusty" but I would like to know if it is possible to do a find for the first value in a value list. Thanks very much

I have a simple question If I have a price per item if people select it in a value list with radio buttons I want to assign a price to it to be placed in a calc field for example If the field fruit says "orange" then place $.75 in field price but If the field fruit says "apple" then place $.50 in field price How can I do this the best way. thanks Dave

Hi _ I have tried the troi plug in but there is not too much support and the post doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if anyone knows of another plug in that takes and posts from web pages? Thanks Dave

Is there a plug in that will play a quicktime movie outside of filemaker so it can play in the background and not interfere with other applicatons that are active.

Yes, I have exactly the same experience. I wrote to them a couple of days ago about it and have not heard from them. I also tried to buy the plug in on line instead of the demo so I could get past the 90 minute thing and the KAGI e commerce thing doesn't accept my credit card which is functional. So there is really no support which you probably have found. Does anyone have a file example for the troi- url plug in that actually works and we could see? Thanks

You guys are awesome. I have so much to go over with what you did. This is the best way for me to learn . Pull something apart and ask questions later. I especially liked hearing about the thought process. thanks so much all, It is great what happens here. thanks

Does anyone have a working example of extracting a random value from a value list ? I just can't seem to make the examples here work properly. Thanks

Hello All I would like to find a formula that would allow me to take a value list i.e. "Colors" and get random item from that value list and deliver it to a field. Can someone help me with this? Value list "Colors" RED Orange yellow green Blue Violet Returns the random of the above list. ( "yellow " for example) Value list field, "Colorfield" File - "NewFile" Please can someone show me a fool proof efficent way to set this up. I would have a lot of uses to do this with value lists. Thanks again harty
