Multiple Conditions for a reference field

Matt! Good to hear from you man! 
No worries on the delay. 

This would work, but theres one minor issue. 

So every vendor is tied to a state
And every claim is tied to a state 

So that works, 

The issue here being that the claim does not have a type association.

As an example; We would have to assign a defense counsel to a claim and an Independent Adjuster to a claim. 

The problem is we would have a crazy long dropdown of vendors if we only sorted by state or only by type. The formula field would be perfect for state, because the state won't change for the claim. But we would need to sort by vendor type. 

Let me know if this makes any sense, all help is appreciated, thanks Matt!!!

I'm just finishing up 2 different apps that deal with Worker's Comp claims.  I'm imagining that you have 2 relationships from the "vendor" table and the "claim" table for the drop-downs.  (one for the defense counsel and the adjustor).

If that is true, I'd make two different reports on the vendor table.  These will be used, un place of the record picker.  On each of those reports, you will apply the filter for that particular 'type' of vendor.

Then the drop down can still be conditional on the state and have the pre-filtered lists for the type.

Not quite, there is only one tie to claims (Technically 2 cause its many to many), there are about 6 or 7 vendor types and it is just a multiple choice field. So when we input a new vendor into that vendors list they are associated with a certain "type". 

So Bob Smith is and IA in that Vendors Table
and John Doe is a Defense counsel in Vendors Table

Not sure if I am explaining this right or not
