Giving Back, Value lists unique for each related recordrecord

[Shane]

I've gotten great advice from some of you guys, and I wanted to give something back. If this is too newbie and obvious just ignore it and smile at my naivetie. I found a great simple solution to a problem I had. I was trying to use a value list from another related file but wanted the list to be uniquely defined in each record in the related file. I formatted the field that I wanted to have a value list to use values from the related record and selected the the field that would define the value list. I defined that field as a simple text field. In each related record, I entered the text for each value to be used followed by a carriage return. It works just like the "define Value list" text entry area.

This is definately not newbie. I have done this myself on occassions. This is great for giving users a simple screen where they can change thier own value lists. All they are really doing is editing a field.
