I just upgraded from FMP 8.5 Advanced to FMP 11.04 Advanced. I'm using a Mac with OS 10.5.8. I've been using this database for years. I have several fields that are drop down boxes using Values Lists that used values from other fields. In my old solution everything worked well. I would enter the field, the list would drop down. I could enter the first 3 or 4 letters from the name (an artist's list). It would match the name. I'd press enter and the serial number for the artist would appear, and the name would appear in a related field.
Now, all of a sudden that doesn't work. Everything works except when I enter the field, the list drops down but when I type the first few letters, nothing happens. It does not find the matching letters. Let's see what have I tried: everything! There are some new terms I don't quite understand when I looked at the help file. Here's another wrinkle. All my fields using the drop down feature with related fields have stopped working - except one??? I can't see the difference. Is this too vague? I'm hoping there's just something simple I've overlooked. Deb Deborah Tinsley Visual Resources Kansas City Art Institute [email protected] 816.802.3395
