Adding a Filter to a Lookup Field

I'm very new to FileMaker. I have worked a little with other databases.

I made my first FileMaker database which is conversion of one of our old databases.

It is a relational 2 table database.

My key field is ProjectNumber for the two tables,

Each project has 2 Project Numbers one for contract work and another for extra billable work

and a status field with shows that the project is open or closed.

I have ProjectNumber set as a lookup in the other table.

I need to filter out all the Extra Work Numbers

and the Closed Projects out of the ProjectNumber Lookup so it shows only the

Open Contract Numbers to avoid duplication of project names.

How can I do this?

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thank You in Advance,

Frank
