Have you tried typing the first three letters of your client after selecting the listbox ? There were a couple of known bugs reported against this not behaving quite in the way expected, but they may or may not have been resolved. Unfortunately, Base is far from being as user friendly out of the box as FileMaker when it comes to form controls, how you can bind them, and how they behave.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Concatenating fields in related form
Thank you for taking the time to reply Robert. > If you will see this directly while input of values you have to set the > input of "ClientID" in the mainform and the query for the shown content > in the subform. "ClientID" will be the field connecting to the subform. > It could be set up as a listfield with the code > SELECT "FirstName"||' '||"Lastname", "ClientID" FROM "Table" > So it will show the "FullName" if the clientID is submitted from the > mainform. I can only get this to work (with a list box) if there is only one project for each client. If I have two separate project records with the same client id I get an error. > But: Do you really know all ClientIDs? I would prefer a listfield > instead, which directly shows the names. I have nearly 1000 clients. It would be tedious scrolling through those looking for a client, or am I missing something? I was hoping I could recreate my old Filemaker method of linking the records.
