Simplified Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I need to create an invoice On that invoice i need to be able to choose from a list of cutomers and then it will give me a choice of different contact for that customer with there information (phone, address....) Can someone draw me a relationship for that so that I can recreate it in filemaker. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You just need to append a table of Contacts to the Customers table, matching on CustomerID (so that it is one customer has many contacts). Then define a value list using values from Contacts::ContactID, include only related values starting from Customers (this is assuming you want to use a value list to select the contact, after having selected the customer).

Simplified Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I got the customer and contact working, they are in 2 different tables and from the customer table i can see matching contacts, but I am trying to see them in another table Invoice. Something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You are missing a relationship between Invoices and Customers. I thought you already had it. Have look at the attached demo. After selecting the customer, you can select the contact either from the drop-down list or from the portal in the popover.
