Filemaker 5.0 and creating specialised drop down menus.
I was wondering if someone could help me here.
I have a filemaker database file and I am at a recuitment agency and they want to create a database that enters in job seeakers current job.
It is One of three posible main categories (ie divisions) and each division has a numbewr of positions in it. I have each of the possible combinations in another file called positions. I know it is probably a simple solution but I cant seem to work it out.
What ideally I would like to do is when you select the department pop-up menu, the position pop up menu will only display the positions that are relevant to that department.
For example,
Department: Finance
Position: (one of): Accountant, Financial Controller, Credit
Department: Medical
Position: (one of): CRA, CRA - Senior, Medical Writer
Department: Manufacturing
Position: (one of): Technicial Manager, Foreman, QA Supervisor
You help is greatly appreciated.

1. Go to layout view.
2. Highlight the field you wish to create a popup menu on.
3. Goto Format on the menu bar and select Format Field.
4. You should now have a window displayed.
5. Where it says Style choose pop-up menu.
6. To the right of that is a tab that allows you to define the list of values displayed.
7. Enter the values you need displaying.
Good Luck
