Hi. I know this isn't the right place for this question, but I can't find the right place. So can someone please point me to it.....or just answer the question ... I have 3 value lists. The first one contains all the values from both of the other lists. When a value is chosen in the first list, I need to search both the other lists and match the value chosen in the first list. Based on which list (2nd or 3rd) I will set a value in another field. What I'm looking for is something like if (value1 (match (list1));0 else (value1 (match (list2);1 That's not the right form, but it's something like. What I don't seem to have is a "match" function. Can someone help..?/Thanks, Judy

Thanks! Who woulda thunk... So far Filemaker has amazed me with capabilities and ease of use. However some things are not intuitively obvious. For example this problem. I searched helps and manuals for almost 2 hours before I gave up and found this forum. The forum is a fantastic way to learn things and - most important for me - get help for very specific things. Thanks for the forum! jl1

Hi I'm new to Filemaker. Can someone tell me how to organize independent tab sequencing for each tab panel? Each panel contains a portal to a different table and the user chooses which tab they want to work with. There is no relationship between the tables at time of data entry, so it makes no sense for the tab sequence to continue from one panel to the next. I tried to reset it for the second panel, but no luck. Thanks, jl1
