Setting text from multiple records in one table to one text field in a different table.

Featured Replies

Hi group,

I hope this is the proper forum and I word my question properly. I am pretty sure this would need to be scripted but it is also a display issue so I wasn't sure which forum to post in.

I need to take the contents from several records and place into one text field. For Eaxmple: (Please Note: Each word or number is a seperate field)

Record 1 >> Phoenix Arizona 42

Record 2 >> Tucson Arizona 32

Record 3 >> El Paso Texas 19

Record 4 >> Las Vegas Nevada 17

Desired result in ONE RECORD in a separate Table:

Phoenix, Arizona 42

Tucson, Arizona 32

El Paso, Texas 19

Las Vegas, Nevada 17

Result would be in a text field...And then on the layout it would be in a text box that would "reduce or enlarge" based on the amount of text in the field.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I need to take the contents from several records...

How do you choose those "several" records ?

BTW: this example uses ALL the records of the DB and two times the List ( ) function.

This should work out perfectly once I figure out how to incorporate with my solution!

Is the (X) used in the relationship so the list will contain values from all records? If I am pulling records from a portal if the (=) used will this only pull related redords (from a portal) in to the list? How does this accomplish the result?

I was not aware of the list function....this is a powerful function I will be able to use a lot.

Thank you so much for your help...This is much easier than what I was planning on trying.

Is the (X) used in the relationship so the list will contain values from all records?

Yes, that's is because I didn't know which records you need.

If I am pulling records from a portal if the (=) used will this only pull related redords (from a portal) in to the list?

Yes, the List ( ) function, when used with a related field, will keep only values from the related records.
