I'm new to Filemaker in general and am creating a database for organizing footage into categories . Basically, I need a drop down field in which you select one category then it brings you to another category and so on, yet I have no idea the correct way to go about this. Which is the most efficient to make this work?

Example:

Animals

-birds

-dogs

-lab

-pitpull

Transportation

-cars

-trains

-planes

-Air force one

-military

Also, after I create this table is there a way in which I can use it within another table?

Thanks a ton!

Look for "conditional value list" and you should come across lots of examples.
