What you need to do first, is have your repository for your menu options, a schema that stores the data. On this schema, you can have up to five fields. A search menu can only tier to five levels deep. So, you have, for example, the following fields on your search menu schema: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Then, you create your search menu. On the section where you select your fields, the Label Fields section, you can select more than one field. You would want to select Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5 and have them listed in that order. Then, in your search menu schema, you would have entries such as the below: Level 1: Hardware; Level 2: Dell; Level 3: Power Edge Level 1: Hardware; Level 2: HP; Level 3: GX640 Level 1: Hardware; Level 2: HP; Level 3: GX650 Level 1: Software; Level 2: Microsoft; Level 3: Office; Level 4: Outlook Level 1: Software; Level 2: Microsoft; Level 3: Office; Level 4: Word That would build most of the menu structure I have below in my previous email. Attached are several files. Search Menu Schema.def is the example schema I use above. Import this first. Next, import Search Menu Tickets.arx. These are the tickets to build the screenshots in the attached file, Menu Example.bmp. Lastly, import Search Menu Def.def, which is the example menu file. Attach it to a file in your test form, then open it up to see how it works. The Value Field is the end value that will be put in the field whenever the user selects an item from the menu. Let me know if you need any other help on this. It seems pretty clear to me right now, but I remember at first, getting the order of the level 1 - 5 in the menu definition could be confusing. After three years of using them though, search menus have become my favorite part of remedy :-) HTH Gary in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
