I have the three tables in FMP 8:

Orders::orderSNR

Items::orderSNR
Items::InvoiceSNR

Invoices::Invoice SNR

When printing an invoice, I need to know whether all its items have the
same order::SNR (I need to go to a different print layout if this is not
the case).

The quickest thing I came up with is to check:
average(items::orderSNR) = items::OrderSNR

As long as OrderSNR is an actual number (ie. not something like
"Mag_06_2008") that should work fine, and is probably the easiest way
to do it.

If it works, why try to fix it? Surprised)

You could also do a Max and Min test. If Max = OrderSNR and Min =
OrderSNR. To echo HH, needs to be a number.
