Calculated key

Hi everyone,

I have a Filemaker Table containing customers and a MS_Sql table containing jobs.

On the FM table I have a key field, text, empty (values to be entered by our producers).

On the MS_Sql shadow table an FM calculated field that takes the job number from a sql field and removes a few characters meaningful only to our accounting dept.

The calculation gives text as result.

Basically on the shadow table the sql field would look like AR-12345-001-PRO.

On the FM table non accountants will enter job numbers in this format AR12345.

I've related the key text field on the FM table to the calculation on the shadow table, but a portal on the FM layout doesn't show anything.

As a test I related the key on the FM table directly to the ms_sql field and in this case the relation works as expected...

Any one can suggest how to use calculated key on a shadow table?

Thanks!
