May 23, 200322 yr Hi, this is my problem, I hope someone can help me out. I have the "Customers" database which contains basic info of my customers including "Last Name" and "First Name" and a calculated field "Full name" which is = "First name" & " " & "Last Name". So far no problems. I have other database called "Visits" to record every visit to my customers. In that database I have a field "Customer" and in the form I choose to have a pop up list to select the customer's name from the "Full Name" field in the "Customers" db. Now, here's the problem: from 60 available customers the pop up list only shows 3!!! What am I doing wrong? Please, any help would be very welcome. Thanks
May 23, 200322 yr Are you setting the value list to show all the values, or just related values? Or are there duplicate customers? Duplicates will only show up once in the value list.
May 23, 200322 yr Author I found my mistake: the calculated value of "Full Name" was stored as a Number instead of Text. How dumb is that!!!??
May 23, 200322 yr Not dumb -- for some reason, Filemaker defaults to Number for all calcs and globals. Don't know about others, but most of my calcs & globals are text, so it's a royal pain.
