doesn't work in find....wtf!?!?!

[VICH]

i have a conditional value list set up that works just fine in browse..but in find...not at all...on all my other layouts the conditional value lists work in find...but not this one....why not!?!?

[BrentHedden]

In layout mode, right-click the field and select 'Field Behavior'. With FM, you can have the field enterable in browse ∨ find mode. I betcha you've got 'In Find Mode' not checked.

no its checked...i want to punch myself in the head over this one because i have no idea what going wrong...

Very hard to help without knowing a lot more. I think you may have to post a mock-up file.

Conditional value lists need relationships to records maybe they are not available in find mode?

[VICH]

i would post a mock up file..but i don't know if i cna recreate the problem....but its strange because i used the same process to create this value list as i did the others and checked it against them after i did make it...and i can't see a difference the real question though is what would keep a conditional value list from not working in find mode if it works in browse mode?

[VICH]

i got it...i just made another table for the lists i wanted insted of using a table i already used for something else...

I see you have the solution

I had the same problem but I found out why my value list works in browse but not in find mode. The list was defined to use related values, through a table relationship starting from a different table occurrence from the layout's table context! (In layout mode, go to layout setup; "show records from" shows which occurrence is providing the context.) So I redid the table relationships in exactly the same way as before, only using the correct table occurrence. Then I redefined the value list to go through the "new" relationship. Then the list displayed in find mode as well as browse.
