Hi Jerry

Thanks for posting!

I think I am going to need a better idea of how you have everything setup.

It sounds like you are actually dealing with three sections. Events, Exhibits and Opening Receptions.

From there, I think each event has a bunch of events but only one opening reception. You have all the event's main details right in the event table. Each exhibit is assigned to a specific event by the title of the event (which you do with a multi select menu). The same thing happens with the Opening Receptions.

Does that sound about right? Let me know if I am on the right track and we'll go from there.

Thanks!

Ross,

Thanks for looking at this.

There are actually only 2 multi record editors:

1) “Exhibitions” that contains the basic information about each exhibition and

“Opening Receptions”that contains the date and time of the opening reception for each exhibition (if any)

Both editors have a field called “exhibition” that contains the name of the exhibition.

I separated the exhibition information from the reception information so that I could automatically “hide” the reception information after the reception date has passed.

As you can see from http://www.lkmix.com/index3.php the exhibition information is displaying correctly, (there are only 2 exhibition records) but instead of the “where” statement limiting the reception date information to that belonging to the specific exhibition, all reception dates show in all of the listings.

I know that I must be doing something pretty lame, but I can’t seem to find what it is.

Hi Ross,

If you have a moment that either you or someone can revisit this, I'd be grateful.

Hi Jerry,

Can you email me CMS and FTP login details to dave@interactivetools.com so I can take a look at the setup? That will be the quickest way for me to determine the issue. Note: Email, don't post login details to the forum.

Also, please include a link to this post.

Thanks, hope that helps!
