Finally leaving FMP12 for good. I am trying to replicate a form that served me well in FM. I created a “window” inside a form that was multi column style. When I select or enter a new record, say item “brand”, all other records that were of the same brand were listed in the window. Selecting one, from the window, would move focus to that other record. It has been so long I am not remembering how I did that.
This may be a Pro version item, but not sure.
Happy Valentines Day all,
Bruce
Hi Bruce,
You can add a Link to Form field which will let you have a “window” into another form’s list of records.
See the topic on Relationships here:

Although the content is still relevant, I’ve been a bit delinquent in updating the screenshots on that page.
Thanks,
Brendan
Looking at this while not in front of my computer. Very excited that this is possible. Thank you so much.

I have placed the link-to-form window in the main form. I want this window to be one field link to field “Brand”. In the main form, if I select a record the “Brand” of the selected record will generate a list all items from all records with the same “Brand” in the window of the main form. This way I can see all the corresponding records that have the same brand without switching forms. I possibly did not make my desire clear. However I cannot get any records to populate in the window.
Thanks
