December 10, 200421 yr Newbies I'm overlooking something. Years with filemaker (Version 3 my first) but never used portals. I'm not a programmer either but have done ok on my own. SSsssooo, I sell books. Each record is a title. I want all titles to show in 1 field so I can copy paste or send in emails of current availble titles. I have tried my relationship but can't seem to get them in there....HELP!!
December 10, 200421 yr Hi guy, and welcome to the Forums! Try this; Make a value list whose items are based on the field theRelationshipName::bookName. If the relationship and value list are constructed correctly, you should then be able to make a field use a popup list that shows all books. Taking it one step further, make a calc text field equal to ValueListItems ( Status ( CurrentFileName ) , "valueListName" ), making sure it is unstored. This field will then display all the books' titles. HTH, Jerry
December 10, 200421 yr Author Newbies Thanks. The Value list worked.......but. I have duplicates of several titles because I sell for some other people too. I found that it did only show one title instead of duplicating it. But I have about 4 lines that show only the "by ..." as shown below. Any idea why??? Broken : The Troubled Past and Uncertain Future of the FBI by Ina Garten by Jimmy Buffett by PAT CONROY, SUZANNE WILLIAMSON POLLAK (Hardcover) by Richard Gid Powers by RICK RODGERS (Hardcover) by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (Hardcover) Celebrations 101 Thanks for the help, Bob
