Help::::: Newbie:::::Repeating Values

[ronnie524]

As you can see from my pics, I inputed multiple entries into my "daily order" form, but only the first entry from "daily order" gets populated into the "shipping detail" form. How can I get the other stuff to come over? Thanks.

Hope my explanation is not as confusing as my thought right now ((((

Thanks a Lot for any thought and help (You actually could copy image to the desktop to see the writting bigger

The picture does show that you have input multiple items (with repeating fields), but it doesn't help us understand your complaint. Your problem is with the shipping details -- is that another *layout* in the same file or is it a separate *file*? Asking how to get the additional lines to "come over" doesn't give us much to work with until it's clear what kind of relationship you're building.

You may want to read some of the many threads advising people to use a related line items file, and portals, instead of repeating fields...

The "shipping layout" is in the same file as the daily order;

My question: In a PO you have many items and the PO#, buyer, cancel date, etc... is always the same, but the items, quantity, colors, sometimes it changes. So I developed this database that gives each item break down of colors, qty, cancel date----- easier to read and proccess the work.

I don't know if this might help, but it also shows all the other ordes (not complete yet, so i can't input other info

Can you help me with some thread....

I could not find what I wanted to do:

The situation is this:

When I get a purchase order from a buyer, I'll get something like the shipping detail. I used the portal tools, because relational fields would not work for me. By using relational fields, for some reason if i put the style # (or lets say product ID) the output on the other fields would be the same as in the first line.

My solution was to use the layout of the invoice on the Filemaker.com site. But the only problem is that the invoice saves the PO as a total # of items instead of giving the order break-down. I need the break down information (e.g. pieces, color, qty/ color/ unit price) to proccess it for production. I might sound very confusing, but please bare with me... I am a newb, and my english is not that perfecto yet
