Choosing the right relationship

[jodibee]

Hi All,

I have a database that needs to lookup values via calculations from one of three other databases.

The dilemma is in dictating which relationship to use to lookup the required values. I use a value list

to show which other database the required data is in but am not sure how to set the calculation to use

the right relationship depending on the value selected from the value list. Does anyone have some ideas for me?

Thanks in advance

Play with this.

A work around using 3 fields "choice A" "choice B" and "choice C" (with not allow entry checked) triggered by a script. Each has its own value list attached, and is selected through a script according to the value of another field.

A calc make sure only one list is used. The result stays in your main field as a calculation based on the value selected in the value list.

I used a button and a script you could use a "pause" (see the Forum for this other tip) to trigger the script when exiting a record.

Certainly only a work around. Didn' really tested it so make sure there aren't too many errors in it.

I just had a few minutes to play on this one.

Here it is without any button (the pause to trigger script).

sorry Ugo - tried opening the files with stuffit but will not open.

I have made two relationship.

one call pipe and one call plate.

made two value list - one on each relationship and chose related value and chose thickness.

I know i am missing something here because i cannot figure how to attached both value list to the same field.

the db consist of only two fields

product and thicknes
