Check box calculation

Hey there-

I have a table in my database designed to maintain all of my company's contacts. The table contains a checkbox field with the options "Client", "Consultant", "Vendor" and "Other". Because we have contacts that are both a client and a consultant, I have to maintain the field as a checkbox set.

In my projects table, though, I want to be able to show values lists of clients and consultants separately. i.e. Where the user can choose a client for any given project, I want a drop down list of clients only. My idea was to create a calculation field in the Contacts Table, which I could then use to create a dynamic value list.

e.g. Case(Contact_Type = "Client", Client_Name = "Company_Name"; "")

The problem is that this doesn't ultimately include the contacts for which both "Client" and "Consultant" is checked. Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

You could use something like:

Case ( not IsEmpty ( FilterValues ( "Client" ; ContactType ) ) ; ContactID )

Or, define a relationship from Projects to a new occurence of Contacts, based on matching type.
