Qrew LegendNot tested today, but the option for a non exact match on a report link field always confused me.
Here are my cheat notes.
Report Link non exact matching means that the field on the "Parent" (left) must be contained within the field on the right "Child".
SET NON EXACT MATCH!!!
So you should be able to create a string in the format on the child like
like
List(";", totext([related parent 1]),totext([related parent 2]),totext([related parent 3]))
Let me know if that works. Not sure if you need to have a ToText(field on the Parent for [Record ID#])

- Worked!
Also, turns out you DO NOT need to to text the record ID on the parent. Worked fine matching the record ID on the parent, with a non exact match to the Related Parent String.

------------------------------- Hi Mark
I'm trying to do the same concept but I cant get this to work. This is the second post I have found on this exact topic but I don't get the same positive result.
I have a list of Asset ID nos in table C. I want to have a report link in table C that uses this list of Asset ID nos to filter a report in Table A (Asset table) so that I can see this report link as an embedded table in the forms in Table C.
If I have only one Asset ID no in the list in table C then linking the report link is easy. But I cant get the report link to work using the list.
I have created a dummy field in table C to test your solution above
List(";", ToText(31284),ToText(32763))
I then used this field to link to a report link in Table A

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouDoes your set up meet this behaviour
Report Link non exact matching means that the field on the "Parent" (left) must be contained within the field on the right "Child".
Your example (which may be your need) looks opposite to this solution and hence will not work.
