I have a drop down contain groups

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

What is the easiest way, without doing 2 searches, to find all the records relating to Group 1 and Group 2 (or any number of groups available in the list)

Thanks

Hi Simon,

You could do a New Find Request from within the same search. Enter Group1 in the first request, Group2 in the second.

HTH.

Consider this for 10 groups....rather cumbersome frown.gif

Hi Simon,

I would drop the find and use Go To Related instead. Create a self-join from global to this value list field. Place global field as a checkbox. Check the items you wish and click a button with Go To Related [show]. It will match to each item checked because they produce a multiline, meaning each line will relate as a different key.

Hi,

Why not use a Menu list, shift click for multiple selections, and build a relationship from this list to the main records...

So that you have a global with your list, a list of groups separated by carriage returns (which allow for many relationships)

Ciao LaRetta, same ideas, different methods, and better explanation.... wink.gif
