Defining Fields

[ultrex]

Hey Guys,

This is my first time using a forum and I have a quick question.. in which im stuck on.

I have 4 fields, called ' Actioning officer , Responsible officer, Service, Depot '. They are all drop down menus, with the required names and so forth.

My Q is - If I select a name in the ' Actioning Officer '.. I want it to automatically give me the data for the other three fields.

How do I go by doing this?

Try this:

But I'm not certain, if it really is what you, wish since there is an element of copying fields from somewhere to a new location. This is relational unhealthy, this means that you need popup menu's to change the shown value for 4 incarnations of the link ID, with the ID as such disclosed ...only popups can be made to work like this, drop downs won't.

Wow, thank you so much !! I've just recently been using FMP and learning how to use it. I can do basics, but relationships etc .. I will still need my head around it, but with that attachment - that is exactly what I was after. Once again,

Thank you!!
