    1. COYou'll want to share more information about how this drop down list is being used. It sounds like it's being used as a search criteria. Is it part of a script that users use in Browse mode that performs a find automatically for the user? Do users enter Find mode, select the value from the drop down, and then perform the find? The answer is likely to prepend the search criteria with '==', but the best implementation will depend on how users are actually going about finding the records.

    2. COThe user will enter Find mode to perform search. Most of my users will be using IWP to access, hence it is not possible to prepend the '==' sign. What other ways of making a 'Find' facility for my user are there in FileMaker do you recommend me to solve this problem?

    3. COWith the regular client you could use an `OnModeExit` script trigger to catch when the user is exiting Find mode and insert the '==' then. With Advanced you could install a custom function into the `Perform Find` menu and insert the '==' then. IWP is a more difficult nut to crack for inserting the '=='. You could train your users to add the '==' themselves, or add a button for them to click to do it for them. I can't immediately think of a way to automatically prepend the '==' to an IWP find, though.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
