Has anyone noticed, even though you select "Drop-Down List" on a character field (that has a menu attached to it), you are still allowed to type stuff into that field if it is in Search Mode? I just noticed that......

Your help is appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Pavan Kumar Pavan, In the Developer Suite or Admin Tool (depending on your AR System version) the display type of the character field needs to be changed from 'Edit' to 'Drop-Down List'. This will restrict the ability for users to "roll their own" entry.
