I'm not even sure to describe under which category my specific problems fall into, I can only advance some hypothesys, so I'll just describe it and let the wisdom of others guide me.
I have a DB with several tables, I use them to make invoices. With every invoice I input the desired price and it adds automatically 19% taxes and produces a neat invoice which I can print, these three tables are called:
Invoices 2018
Invoices 2019
Invoices 2020
Now on to my problem. I wanted to create a forth table where from every previously listed table it would calculate the total revenue of the year in question, broke down like this:
- Total Net price paid for 2018
- Taxes for 2018
- Total revenue for 2018 (net+taxes)
- Total Net price paid for 2019
- Taxes for 2019
- Total revenue for 2019 (net+taxes)
- Total Net price paid for 2020
- Taxes for 2020
- Total revenue for 2020 (net+taxes)
I am unsure how to proceed, I tried creating a forth layout and a new table but I have problems brining the summary field from each year's table into the forth table/report/layout.

I have a field named "Databases" with the following values: "CORD", "SDHS", "Y Ballet". This field is displayed as a checkbox set. I recently learned that "CORD" should have been "DSA", so I naively changed "CORD" to "DSA" in the value list but then none of the records that were checked for "CORD" were checked for "DSA", which reminded me that the values in the value list are the values of the field Databases and not labels for checkboxes. I revised the value list to again include "CORD" and its checkbox is again checked for all the records for which it was originally checked.
I wrote a script, shown in one of the attachments, to insert "DSA" into the Databases field for each of the records that contains "CORD" in that field. When I run the script I get an error message saying "Databases" is defined to contain only specific values, and that I must enter a valid value. How can DSA not be a valid value when it is included in the value list for the field? How can I accomplish what I want to do?
Does programming scripts in FileMaker ever get easier? I don't write many scripts, but when I do I find it surprisingly difficult to accomplish what I think would be the simplest of tasks.
Thanks in advance for your help,

How do I set a field with a value list item from a script, from a set of tick box values? .. or remove a value list item, but leave whatever else is there alone?
Looks like GetValue with the name of the value list and the position # of the value, but I'm sure that also means that if I change that value list, I need to change any scripts that reference them by position # too..
Something like detecting if a string is already there, and if not add it, surrounded by C/Rs, unless it's the first item entry?
For the first time a field is set, I presume I could just Set Field (field ; "Value List Item"), and if there's only one entry/line in it, just clear it. But if there's already a value there, I just want to select an additional one.

Gents,
I use self portal on my Clients layout to serve two things:
1. display all the records and
2. quick navigate among them.
This portal is not displayed in Webdirect.
Is it possible to make it work?

Hello,
Here is my scenario. I have two tables. One with dog houses, each record has information about the doghouse, etc. Second I have a table with each individual dog, each dog is linked to a doghouse by a housing ID. Each dog also has a status of "Active" or "Otherwise." What I want is each doghouse to have a count of how many "Active" dogs are linked to it. I can then do searches and calculations based on that.
Is there a way to have a doghouse record value that is a calculation, or will I need to write up a script that is run every time I want a report.
As a side note I have some 6,000 doghouses and close to 60,000 dogs registered. The faster it works the better.
Thanks in advance!
