Hi,

Me again

In my filemaker 7 app, I need to manage shipping boxes and the content of these boxes.

I want to display on a printout a list of Boxes and inside each of these Boxes, display all the Products that belong to it. I know the List part but it's not possible to have a List part into a List part (what I would want to do).

Has anybody already encountered this problem? Can you give me hints to solve it?

Thanks a lot!

You're better off reading various threads on recursive filestructures Ugo has a few uploads to this site to examine.

I would think sub-summary parts in a join table would work for this.

thulli, if you can say what your tables are (and how they relate,) I can give a more precise answer, but if you have a table where each record identifies the box-product pair, then in that table you can have a list layout with a Sub-Summary by Box part and a Body part. On the Sub-Summary by Box part, have the Box fields, and on the Body part have the Product fields.

Also,

Are the items in each box always sold in these sets, do they belong to other sets and would it be possible that they'd be sold separately ?
