Hi,
sorry my concern lead everyone into confusion.
So I'll try to explain my problem from scratch and in a simple way.
I have a form let say A. In that form I have a character field called CC
list.
People can add logins in that field so each login corresponds to an
email address.
What I want to do is simply: do not allow people from putting in that
field some logins.
These later are mailing-lists.
So I though I could put all these mailing-lists in a file and read from
that file and compare with what is typed in.
...
At this point I make it short because I tried different solutions either
form myself or solutions given by you gentlemen of this list.
...
Anyway, the problem I have at the end is my SET FIELD does not work if I
use something like (("%" + $CC list) + "%") LIKE 'My Mailing-list'
No matter if 'My Mailing-list' is stored as a file and red in a form
through a menu. Or if 'My Mailing-list' is a form with for every
mailing-list a record.
....
Also no matter how I write the SET FIELD . i.e it also doesn't work if I
write 'My Mailing-list' LIKE (("%" + $CC list) + "%")
...
I hope I was clear enough.
...
Any help/idea/suggestion will be very welcomed.
...
I am about to try the solution given by Fred Grooms with 2 tempfields.

Serouche,
I think your original question may have lead all of us down a path that
works but is becoming increasingly difficult. One of your recent
statements has made me rethink your original question. If I understand
correctly, you want folks to be able to populate a field from a menu but
you don't want them to be able to type in to the field.
Have you tried setting the Display Type on the field to Drop-Down List?
This sets up the menu in a manner that prevents individuals from typing
directly in the field.
