October 9, 200619 yr Newbies im using filemaker 6. hope this is not too silly a question. i have 2 files. one file is 'category listing', the second one is 'main'. there are 2 fields in 'category listing' called and . there are many fields in 'main' file which includes and , , . i created a relationship to link the 2 files such that in the 'main' file, when i choose a category, it will shortlist the various 'sub categories' under it only. this works already. however, i want to make it such that when i add records under the 'main' file, the category and subcategory will also be added into the 'category listing' file. pls advise! i need the solution rather urgently.. thanks so so much!!
