Filter records help please

I have a table 'ASSIGNMENTS' with a field (Y/N) 'EMAIL TASK'.

 

In my 'TASKS' table I have a formula field "ASSIGNED EMAILS" with 'ASSIGNED ENGINEERS'.EMAIL which displays the email addresses of the engineers.

How do I filter the formula to only display the emails of engineers where 'EMAIL TASK is true?

'ASSIGNED ENGINEERS'.EMAIL where 'ASSIGNED ENGINEERS'.'EMAIL TASK' = true

Above errors out on me with end expected at 'where'.

What is the correct syntax for this please.

    hmm, i thought where is only used in select statements. I couldn't get a where to work in with a reference field.

    If you are using links then you just use the square brackets.

    'ASSIGNED ENGINEERS'['EMAIL TASK' = true].EMAIL

    That is if 'ASSIGNED ENGINEERS' is also the one side of the relationship.

       You are right. where only works with select statements. Square brackets work with both but can be slower with a select statement.
