SlimJim Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I have a common situation - a value list to choose an ID and also showing a sorted name field. I type in the first letter of the name I want and the list always jumps to the final name on the list, I repeat the intial letter and carry on typing and there is no further problem. Do I have an incorrect setting somewhere? Is this a know problem with FMP7 (I am using v7.03). It is going to be a real PIA when this solution goes live if the problem isn't solved.

aaa Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 can you attach the part of you file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Can't the ID be derived by a calc instead so only the human digestibles shows in the valuelist, it seems like the ID's in your list are numbers but the cathegories are textstrings. What I came to think of of was something like the stuff I attached... --sd testOfConcep.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimJim Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 To aaa I can't post my file because of privacy issues. I have tried to clone a piece of my solution to demonstrate the problem but oddly enogh in a simple situation it doesn't arise. At least I now know it is a problem with something in my file.

SlimJim Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 OK I have now implemented your suggestion into my solution and it works very well. The value list problem has disappeared and I only needed to add in one global text field and one extra relationship to get it working. Many thanks. I still have no idea why the problem arose in the first place. Added later: the change to a global text field was not a good idea, so leave that as a normal text field.
