I purchased Filemaker pro5 a few weeks ago, partly because of the relational value list facility.

All works well, but not through the web companion.

I have used all the knowledge i have assembled during the last few years but to no avail.

I was hoping, for someone to tell me there is a solution to the problem!

And last but not least to share the solution with me!

Well, the real problem is NOT Filemaker, but the web browser interface. Web browsers are simply not capable of relational value lists, because that concept does not exist to them.

Once you enter the web arena, you are no longer in Filemaker and do not have access to its features. I know what you want to do and I know that it is possible in HTML based interfaces, but you really need to talk to a web page developer and they will be able to tell you how this can be done.

It depends what do you need, I have some kind of working concept on my website with relational value lists. Could you be more specific? Maybe there is a way :-)

[FMP-portal:relationshipname]

<option value="[FMP-field:relationshipname::fieldname]">[FMP-field:relationshipname::fieldname]

[/FMP-portal]
