Updating lookup values
If you change data in the
match field of the related
table or in the
lookup source field for a lookup, FileMaker Pro doesn't automatically update the data in the lookup target field. To update the data, you need to look it up again.
Important Relookup Field Contents updates all fields looked up by the match field across all records in your current found set. You can't undo your actions when you update lookup values.
To update lookup values:
1. In the current table, use Find mode, or Omit Records in Browse mode, to create a found set that contains only the records you intend to update.
2. In Browse mode in the current table, select the match field, then choose Records menu > Relookup Field Contents.
3. When you see an alert message, click OK.
