Value lists: from other file or field

[Oldsneekers]

When defining a value list from fields from another file I can either make a VL in File A from the fields in FIle A then define the VL in File B using the already defined VL in File A, or in File B define the VL as directly from the fields in File A. Other than the fact that the second procedure requires a relationship, is there any advantage to either method? Thanks.

The second method would be clearer and more sensible to someone looking at your code.
