I think you could make your value list based on 'Names2' - initially filled

name when that name is chosen. When you 'choose' a name - to take your
term - you launch a script don't you ? In that script you could Set Field
(Names2, "X/" & Name). Your relationship needed for your portal would then
have on the left 'Names2' and on the right 'Name'. Then if a Name is chosen,
its Name2 will be different to Name, thus will not be shown by the
relationship. At the end you'll to refresh the Name2 by putting back in it
only the contents of Name. The hang up of this method is that it will be
appropriate only to a single user. In a multiuser environment, it will not
work as is, but maybe it could be adapted in using globals (that are 'local'
to the user), or making the second term of the 'SetField' above more complex
using the 'Case' function to add the "X/" only for that the running user,
and not for the others.
Not tested.

I know this has been covered before but I cannot figure out what to
call it. So, here goes. I have a value list, in a portal, of names. I
want the list to get smaller as a name is used until no more names are
visible. For example: Valuelist Names-Joe, John, Mark; choose Joe, the
list would show John, Mark; choose Mark, the list would show John;
choose John, no names in list. How would that be accomplished?
Also, how would I create a valuelist where data can be entered on the
fly and that data would show up in the valuelist? Thanks.
