Thank you so much for all your videos. If some of them are fast it only means that we are slow and need to see them several times or pause them every couple of minutes. I am 73 years old and I did a small system based almost only on your videos.
Hi! I Really appreciated the tutorial!!... having seen that at around the same time you recorded it, I found your personal comments hilarious :-))). Thanks again and keep on with such a good job!
thank you so much for this video. I've finally understood how to apply a dynamic list into my database. I was making an error between relationship and I've found the error watching your video. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your tutorial. It's 3 am and I was banging my head against the wall trying to remember how to do this. Okay, now I need to go take some Dramamine, your video made me a bit dizzy.
is this possible to do with just one table? i have an inventory table that holds all the data, similar to your car table. but then i want it to give me associated sizes, and colours of items. i guess it kind of works in reverse..
Anyone knows if there is a way to have a third level in this funciton? That is if I would like to have a unique choice depending on the model? Level 1 = Make, Level 2 = Model, Level 3 = New Value. I have tried with the Relationships but can't seem to get it to work!
Hi! I created a layout like you do with 7 merge fields. All of them except one show up in preview mode, why is that? I double checked all the fields and it should work correctly. The field not showing is between fields that are showing normally in preview mode and the Object Visibility in the Inspector is unchecked. The problem seems to be with the text field itself, because if when dragging it on the layout the other ways, still it doesn't show up in Preview mode. There is noting wrong with the configuration/settings of this field as far I can see, it's the same as any other field.
Hi Armando. I was able to fix the problem, the not working field had some settings in the Table section that weren't correct. Everything works well now and I was able to finish the app. Thanks for your offer to help!
I could use some help though with another problem that isn't part of this video, so maybe I should ask about it on the FM community instead. My solution works fine on my Mac, double clicking the application file opens the program immediately. But a friend who doesn't have FM on his computer gets the error message: "The primary file (...) cannot be found and is required for this application". He can open the program still by searching for that file (which is in the same folder), but it's not a good way. I want to send my program to a potential client and this would make a bad impression. Any suggestions?
I followed every single step. I did exactly the same and my drop down list shows the right text but once clicked it displays the numbers (ID). How do I keep the name that I had given it? How do I stop it from displaying the numbers (ID)? Why is this happening?

+Ariele Mendez Hi,,, Remove tick from second box "make" dynamic value list >> (Also display values from second field)..
hallo, I'm new of FM , I study with youtube lessons and I find your video and there are very interesting. I use fm 15 and when I create a dropdown list fm display the id key , not the name how in your video. how I can resolve? thanks
Hello, you need to choose to show the first and the second field for the dropdown. But it till only show when the dropdown is active. To show it all the time you can use a pop-up list instead of a dropdown.
Could you have made this any more confusing. The make table has a categorieID field, The Model table also has a categorieID field (but it's obviously not the same field) then the FK (I'm supposing) of the Make table in the model table is called parentID (what if there are more sub-levels and their all called parentID1, parentID2 or whatever), then you actually have a carID field at the car table but you link the car table to the parentID field again, which links to the make field of car. What does the make field of car represent ? Then you go on making value lists with names that look very similar to all of the previous names and now you've completely lost me...Going to look for a video that doesn't make my head hurt after a few minutes (like those from Guy Stevens for example)......
for someone that is new to filemaker, as I am, you're definitely too fast and not useful... fortunately it was 1 a.m. ... I could not imagine what you are at daytime.... I'll try to see it more times, again and again
More than 9 years later and very very helpful. Many thanks for sharing.

I was searching this for a while, you made it ! many thanks
thank you so much for this video. I've finally understood how to apply a dynamic list into my database. I was making an error between relationship and I've found the error watching your video. :)
You're welcome!
What!? Why is "make" and "model" fields set to type - "Number" fields? (2:50)
Thanks so much for sharing your tutorial. It's 3 am and I was banging my head against the wall trying to remember how to do this. Okay, now I need to go take some Dramamine, your video made me a bit dizzy.
how you can make the dropdown list editable , so that user can add more make and model?
After you have already made a dynamic table is it possible to go back and edit the names car models? How do I do that?
Hello, since the video was just uploaded, the quality is low. It will fix itself in a few hours. I'll try to go slower in the future!
And if I want to do Conditional Value List from the same example?
If I want to add 'Price field' that show car's price and depend on make and model
How to make and relationship with this tutorial table?
Hi!
What if you want to lookup values to the car table? I can't make them work.
Thanks!

is this possible to do with just one table?
i have an inventory table that holds all the data, similar to your car table. but then i want it to give me associated sizes, and colours of items. i guess it kind of works in reverse..
Hello. Thank you for this good tip. Could you make another one like that but using a portal to show a list of cars a person has?
Anyone knows if there is a way to have a third level in this funciton? That is if I would like to have a unique choice depending on the model? Level 1 = Make, Level 2 = Model, Level 3 = New Value.

Hi André I have maybe what you need how can I sent you the link? however I started using this excellent example.

Thanks, this help!
It's just a bit fast while u r talking and the screen is not much readable.. but I got the idea :)
I followed every single step. I did exactly the same and my drop down list shows the right text but once clicked it displays the numbers (ID). How do I keep the name that I had given it? How do I stop it from displaying the numbers (ID)? Why is this happening?
+Ariele Mendez Hi,,, Remove tick from second box "make" dynamic value list >> (Also display values from second field)..
I met the same problem just like you did. Have you figured it out?
Change the dropDown list rather use Pop UP menu

Helpful Video, a bit fast to catch up with you...
Thanks for the efforts
Thanks
very unclear
