I know this is probably simple, but I just can’t get my head around it.

I have a table (A) which is related to another table (.

A single record in (A) may be related to many records in (:

Table B has 2 field, (B::Status and B:Type) B::Status’ will contain either “Active” or “Complete”. And B:Type will contain either “Old” or “New”

I need a calculated text field in table “A” return “Yes” if [color:purple]any of the multiple related records in “B” have [color:purple]both “Status=Active” and “Type = New”

I hope that makes sense.

Here is one way to do it.

If its for display purposes, then you dont need a calc on the parent side. If you need the calc then create a Sum () calc on the parent side.

No matter how hard I try, I leave out one important detail.

I just need an indicator in the parent table record that confirms a certain condition exists in any of the related records of the child table. If the conditions are not true in any of the related records , then the indicator is empty

If the condition is true in any of the related child records, the user can decide to investigate further, by viewing the related child records.

I hope I did better this time in explaining my need.

Well I don;t know if this is the most elegant way to do it, but I tried it and it works.

In the main database create a global field that contains the string "ActiveNew". In the subsidiary database create a computed field that concatenates the two fields.

Create the relationship so that it includes both the Key between the records AND a link between the global field and the computed field.

Then in the main database you can create a computed field like (if (count(sub::any-field)>0, "Yes", "No"))

Ok. But the file that I posted does exactly what you are asking for. If this is not what you were looking for, then please restate.

Hi, Thanks.

I made a couple of changes to the DB itself, and adapted your suggestion.

Thanks, again. All is good.
