You add an Enumeration field and add your dropdown selections to it.

"Or a joined data. (2nd level in the fields tree) "

Would you mind explaining? I'd like to use a drop down list which is populated from another table.

is this possible?

thanks,
Geoff

You can do this with a 'Foreign Key'. For example if you have an Address table and a Cities table, add a Foreign Key data type to the Address table and drag and drop the Cities table onto it. On your page you can add the Foreign Key field and it will be displayed as a drop-down list of cities.

Is this what you were looking for?

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
