FM7: Value list based on indirect relation

Beat
in Value Lists

Featured Replies

I'm sure this sort of question has been asked before, but I'm unsure what search terms to use, so please forgive me if this is old stuff:

Let's say I have a table INVOICES and a table LINES which are related via the key field ID. INVOICES has a field LANGUAGE and LINES has a field UNIT. Now I would like to define a value list which will show all values of UNIT for records in LINES which are related to records in INVOICES with the same language, so when I tab into UNIT, I will get a pop-up list of all units that I have previously used in lines of invoices of the same language. Is this feasible dynamically (i.e. without using a lookup LANGUAGE field in LINES)?

Cheers, Beat

Nope. You need to have a LANGUAGE field in the table LINES.

Thanks. Better a negative conclusive answer than none at all smirk.gif
