I am currently using FMP Advanced 8.5

I have a text field that I have about 10 options that the user can select.
Ssome item in the inventory can have multiple characteristics. I want to
make another form to display the item in inventory and for that text field
it will only show the first box that the user checked.

I.E.

Data Entry Screen

Properties:
Color
X Style
Size
X New
Old

View Screen:

Properties: Style (This is all I can get it to display)


Desired output is:

Properties: Style, New

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Carl

Iced,

There's some information missing about how things are wired together in your
system. But here's how check boxes work:

Each time you select a check box, it adds that value to the contents of the
field. Each time you deselect a check box, it removes that item from the
field. The values are separated by returns.

If you have a that field on a layout and it's only one line high, you'll
only see the first value. You have to expand it to multiple lines, as many
as all the possible values.

If you want to have commas instead of returns, you'll need to use a second
field, dProperties, with the formula:

Substitute ( Properties ; "¶"; ", ")

and show that field instead of the original Properties field.

I think you want a value-list that acts on a related item. To explain how
this workes I have rigged a small example and send this to you e-mail
address. Hope you don't ind.
