  1. I revised the field settings so that the fields update automatically. I also made it so that the fields do not store the results, they are calculated as needed (this keeps them from being "global" fields). I've also made it so that the font color changes - depending on which tab is selected. DayTabs_revised.zip
  2. Hope this works for your needs. Just created 7 global fields with a calculation for each day. Created a grouping of the fields and overlayed it on top of each tab. DayTabs.zip
  3. You are awesome!!! It's exactly what I was looking for... Thanks...
  4. I am coming from the world of MySQL & PHP and am a relative new-comer to FileMaker. The company I am now with uses FileMaker Pro 8.5. I have searched the forum(s) for a solution to a problem I have regarding value-lists but can’t find one. (Here’s my problem) I have a Company Information layout page with the following fields: “Company Name”, “Address”, “City”, “State”, “Phone”, etc… I also have a Checkbox Set (defined as “Contact Type”) with the following choices available: “Client” “Consultant” “Personal” “Prospect” “Other” I have defined value lists according to these Contact Types. When a “check-box” is marked and the record has been committed (i.e., clicked out of the checkbox set), I would like to dynamically add the “Company Name” to a value list according to the category chosen. So, if a company was tagged as a Client, that company’s name will be added to a value list for Clients. Same scenario for those that have been tagged as Consultants and so on. These value lists will then be made available in “drop-down” fields within the same layout, according to their category. I am having trouble figuring out how to dynamically add the company name to the correct value list once a check-box is marked. What calculation, if any, should I use to define each value-list? Will I have to create a script? Currently all the fields are in one table. Should I create other tables? Should I create a new table occurrence with a relationship to the original? In MySQL and PHP I would have just hard coded this into my PHP file. In FileMaker it looks to be a little more difficult to manipulate the fields/tables. Any help or insight in this will be greatly appreciated.
