Is there a way to.......?

Please could someone tell me if there is a way to stop the field value list opening once you have made your selections?

I have created a parts file, the first field is called category. You select the category from a drop down value list, from this selection, a drop down list opens in the next field and the next etc. this is ok but once you have selected the parts in all the fields, the first list drops down again at the beginning. Is there a way to stop this??

Many thanks in advance.

What is happening is that Filemaker is going to the next field in the tab sequence. You can change the field from being a drop-down list to a drop-down menu (the 2nd option), or you need to change the tab order so that whatever the next field is, it isn't a field with a drop-down list attached to it. What you can't do is remove all of the tabs from a layout becuase this will cause a drop-down list to remain open.
