Hi All,

I am a newbie to Filemaker, only really know the basics. I am trying to do the following, but i do not know what the calculation is, if any:

A database with two fields:

Field 1 = Number

Field 2 = Name

I have a value list of 18 names.

When a number form 1 to 18 is eneted into field 1 (number) I need filemaker to automaticly enter a name from the value list into field 2.

Does anyone have any ideas? This is killing me.

Thanks All

You have to hard code the calculation in Field 2.

The easiest way is via a Case Statement.

Case(Field 1 = 1, "Joe",

Field 1 = 2, "Bob",

Field 1 = 3, "Al"

)

and so on.
