February 6, 200322 yr Hi, I have a DB that lookups images in a related DB using an item#. There are however images that show more than one item and therefore are tagged with more than 1 item# in one line (like: item#1 item#2 item#3 etc). The problem is that when a user enters - lets say - item#2, the image wont show up, since its not an exeact match... Is there *any* way to work around this? I never tested the system for those multiple numbers and there are already over 9.000 images entered : So it's kinda hard to just re-write a part of it.... TIA JP
February 6, 200322 yr Hi, I think a multi key would do the trick for you. In your photo DB create a calc field "MultiKey" that is defined as text: item1&"PP"& item2&"PP"& item3&"pp"&... that displays all the item names (or ID's)present in the photo for the record seperated by returns. set your relationship from master file to photo file: ItemName::MultiKey HTH -Raz
