I have a cck where one of the field is the user referenced filed (of a particular role) - the filed name is kids_name

In D5 i had a view where the filter was set to
kids_name = is one of = "currently logged in user"

This meant that when the user logged in - he or she could only see records pertaining to him or her (as the view filtered it matching the kids_name filed with currently logged in user field)

Now i am in Drupal6.6 with Views2 and i can;t find a way to do it.
If in filter i select the [content] = "kids_name" - then i only get the list of names to filter by - i do not get the option of filter by currently logged in user.

I am sure this must be a simple thing to do - pl guide me how to?

Under the relationships section, add a relationship for the userreference.

Then, under filters, add a filter for is the logged in user. Select the relationship you just added.

Hey folks...

I'm trying to do the same thing, have done the suggested modification to my view, but for some reason, it does not seem to be working! Once I create the filter, the resulting view shows no contents. I've double checked the contents in my field, the relationship, and the filter and it all seems right. What could I be missing?

thanks for the help...
