You don't need a separate table, but a new layout and a new relationship.

So go to make a new realationship with a new occurence of your patient Table based on "race" so:

Patient::race = Patient2::race

In the new layout put the field Race and a portal showing Patient2 fields

Hi, Manar! In attachment in the two layouts i did two different ways for your wish: one, which suggested raybaudi and one other.

dear:

thank u for ur help, i saw ur examples, agreat helpfull, but what i want non editable fields

i will explain more, i have first tablet (patient information) which contains records about all my pt's including race in popup menu of different values(white, black,..), what exactly i want to make a filter layout or table, that when i insert in race field e.g.white , automaticaly put for me list of all pt's names that are already registered in pt information table and so on.

what i understand in ur examples that i have to edit the pt race in this new table and only a sorting method

plz help

[Raybaudi]

No, you haven't understand correctly my example !

You haven't to edit race: the portal will show always only the related records to the race of the patient that you see on the screen.

BTW if you want to make a new layout with an editable field (that don't make alterations to your existing records), you have to make a global field, as aaa said to you in his second example.

I did it, but how i can make all the pt names appear in one record according to the variable without adding a new record every time, and i found that (i don't know why?) the variables changed in the first original records that related to this variable
