mikejshaw Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hello, I have a field that I want displayed as text for data entry, but stored as a numeric so I can export the numeric field to web e-commerce software: 01 Business 02 Finance ... etc I created a field category (numeric) in my "inventory" database and new table "category" eg. Catid (numeric) and CatDesc (Text); then defined the relationships. Not having much success in layout mode trying to set up a value list to accomodate this; so that I can select the category description; and populate it with the categoy ID. Newbie, with some Access experience. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Phil Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Mike you mention that you have tables but your details say that you are on v6 which doesn't use tables. It would be handy to know what you are using because the approach, while quite straightforward, is completely different for pre and post 7 Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejshaw Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm using version 6. Coming from Access I just assumed they were tables. Oops. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHunter3 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 They actually are tables, it's just that because they are also files, and you always have a one-to-one correspondence of tables to files, everyone always called them "files". No one spoke of "tables". Until FileMaker 7, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
