Backwards Relationship

Featured Replies

I have a contact database with a field for manager and then a portal I want to show all people they manage. I created a relationship and related manager to full name. The portal is now showing the manager of the person, rather than the names of the people that person manages. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Flip your relationship so that the current record's employee name matches any records where his/her name is in the manager field. Better yet, use a field to hold the manager's unique id and relate the employee's unique id to it, unless you prefer to manually update all relevant employee records when a manager happens to change their name or deal with the confusion of two managers having the same name.

Switch the fields around in the relationship definition so that full name relates to manager.

BTW: You should consider using Employee IDs as your relational keys. Using names creates problems when the names change.

Ok, i got it working with the names. Thanks. Now I just need to see how to get it working with an employee id. You're right, I should be using that. Basically, I want a popup list with names, but I want it to relate to their employee ID. How would that work? Thanks!
