couple of list queries

couple of list queries

Hey Jason

Have a couple of list queries please.

1. on an update page, I have a drop down list of categories which you can use to change the category id in the database. What is not happening is that when you first view the update page, the default item shown is the top one rather than what is in the actual database for that product. How would I link the drop down to show this please?

2. on a results page I would like to add a list which would update a filter in a recordset so that only items from what has been selected in the list is shown...

Whatever further info you need from me just let me know

Cheers

Jamie

1) in design view, select the list, in the property inspector, click the dynamic button.

for the select item equal to option, click the lightning bolt and select the corresponding category column from the update recordset.

2) Use data assist search to set this up.

thanks Jason

1. pretty much managed to get that working although for some reason, the selected item appears twice in the list (see attached screenshot)

2. is there a step by step guide to this as I have never used the search functionality that WA offers...

cheers

1) You may have to add a group by clause to the recordset used to populate the list.

2) No, there is not a step by step guide.

create the basic results page without any filtering, then start the data assist search wizard to create the search for and add the search criteria.

WHERE ProductID = colname
GROUP BY ProductCategory
