conditional value list

[Jayson]

Hi,

I am a new user of the Filemaker. Now I am doing a project on the patients' database. The problem is there is a question for the patient:

Do you smoke? if "yes", then "how many each day?"; else do nothing.

Can I use conditional value list to solve this problem?

Thank you very much for your time.

A conditional value list wouldn't help a lot in this case ...

There are several ways to approach the problem: the nicest would be the so-called "portal trick": get a tip file named Visibility at www.databasepros.com

The simplist way would be to have two fields. One for "do you smoke" and the other (a number field, auto enter '0') for "how many."

If the patient doesn't smoke, then leave as is, if they do, fill in the amount.
