Hi

I am new to filemaker and am stuck.

Is it possible to have a field like "wine_producer" and once it has a value entered (a record has been saved) , on the next entry the field becomes a popup list and the user can pick from the existing entry for selecting the wine producer?

Thanks

Regards

Define a value list to use values from the wine_producer field and then set the field format of the wine_producer field to use the new value list.

Thanks your reply, I already thought about that one, but my problem is that the producers list can become big. It is not just a few producers. In Italy you can have hundreds.

I know I can have edit list option, but I do not want the user to edit the existing ones.

Thats what an Edit Box is designed for, type the first few letters of the Wine Producers name and it jumps to that part of the list. This makes navigating long lists much easier.
