relookup operation. FileMaker
Pro moves the cursor to the field you specify. This must be
the match field for the relationship upon which the lookup is based, not the Lookup source
or target field. If no field is selected, Relookup Field Contents returns an error code that can
be captured with the Get(LastError) function.

Notes
• The target field specified for the Relookup Field Contents step must be an editable field.
• Relookups are only performed on the found set of records in the active table.
• Calculation fields cannot be used for the Relookup Field Contents command. If you use the
Relookup Field Contents command, and you're using a calculation field as the matching
value, you must specify one of the input fields for the calculation as the field parameter for
the Relookup Field Contents.
