FestiveEmbalmer Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 While it would have saved me about 40 minutes of tinkering and resource scouring to know that calculations cannot be used in value lists, further tinkering resulted in using a text field with auto-enter options as a successful value list. In this case its just a first/last name concatenation used as a second field to a primary key value list. It seems to be working fine. Noob is happy, noob cannot foresee problems in future. Please correct noob if noob in danger. Is there any difference between an auto-enter calc and a calc field in terms of when they (re)evaluate?

Fenton Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It depends on whether you uncheck the [ ] Allow replace of existing value. In this case, you want to uncheck it. The default is checked, which is the only way it worked in earlier version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Calculations *can* be used in value lists, but the values must be stored and indexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
