Sorry to be a bother. I suppose this is a question with a really simple answer but I'm stumped. Assitance would be appreciated.

I've got Category, Type, and Item where (for reasons not worth explaining) They want to push the "Item" selected to a character field, go back and select another "Item" and have it push to the same character field, accumulating a list of items. Is there any way to do this and not have each Item selected not over-write the previous one?

Thanks in advance

did you try $value_already_in_field$ + " " + $new_value$ ... I know we had to do something like that a while ago... if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll dig through some .def files to see exactly how we did it...

Create an active link that fires on menu selection in the item field. It should have a set fields action that sets your new character field (NCF) = $NCF$ + Item field. That should concatenate what's already in the field with each new value picked from the Item list.
