The answer is yes. It's dead simple. Move your
valuelist out into a
new Layout called "Valuelist" in a field called
"Values". Define
your current value list to be the contents of the
field "Values" in
which you have placed the contents of your valuelist,
and you can do
whatever you like with the files, accessing the Layout
through AS and
the value list from within Filemaker. All of your
programming is
then dead easy. I mentioned this in the previous
email I posted on
this issue. Perhaps, if you can not understand what I
am trying to
tell you, you could contact one of the Filemaker
groups about the
process of setting this up.
On this issue you can trust me that it works. I have
written more
than 50 databases for schools using this technique to
allow access
through AS to the value lists used in their databases.
They also use
these scripts to transfer data from ACCESS databases
and the like. I
have also set up a system similar to yours to access
and update data
between Filemaker data and Excel sheets.
Why don't you give it a try.

THANK YOU PETER :)
I did not understand your previous reply but this
makes sense and I will give it a try.
Thanks
Oakley
