A extra field in a subfile to select

[amacfantasy]

Ok im making a interactive program where you enter in a last name then next page has a subfile list of people that will be from that name down in ABC order. Anyways thats not important but on that subfile SFL area i have to have a option field that will be by all 10 of the names (Being the page can hold up to 10 rows) And when you put a X in that blank and press enter it will bring up more detailed information on that person phone number address ect. But im confused on how the made up field that i named option and the names can be connected? The last and first name are put on from a physical files &1 &2 you know like that. I Would use a Chain right but i cant chain somthing to itself like Chain LastName CustFile ---- being that last is the last name in the custfile so what do i do?

Place a hidden field in the subfile. The hidden field can contain the customer number.
Below is an example definition of a hidden field in a subfile record.
