Working with Time Values - A Time Logging Database
Using one relationship, as a utility relationship, for the purpose of creating another valid data relationship isn't something that's always an obvious solution. In this video, I walk through the process of using a utility relationship for the purpose of a facilitating a lookup - which is used to reference data in a previous record. In this solution we're using time values in order to calculate an elapsed time.
Ok, so it sounds a little confusing without the background of the problem we're trying to solve. Fortunately, you can watch the video and work with the file provided. It's a Time Logging database which helps you track how you've spent your time.
Regardless of whether your database works with time values or not, there's always a lesson to be learned in solving a FileMaker problem!
