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!?!?

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?

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?

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.
