What I am looking for is something like this:
I have am creating a new part purchased for a customer. It has the
following fields:
Name (part description):
Date:
Customer:
Quantity:
etc....
When I get to the customer field, right now it is a drop down box listing
all of my customers (or at least as many as are allowed to be displayed). I
actually have over 200 possible customers to chose from, which I believe is
too many for a drop down box, even if it was allowed.
I am not sure if this can be accomplished by what you are describing or not.
What I would like is the following:
Name (part description):
Date:
Customer: _______________ |Select| (Button or Link)
Quantity:
etc....
When the Select button is clicked I want to bring up a Table view with the
folllowing on it:
Search ____________________________
Customer Address Contact
ABC Customer Any Address Some Contact
|Select| (Button or Link)
.
|Select| (Button or Link)
.
|Select| (Button or Link)
.
|Select| (Button or Link)
XYZ Customer Their Address Their Contact
|Select| (Button or Link)
When selected it would return the Customer ID just like it had been chosen
from a Drop down list.
I am not sure if that is what you are describing or not.
Does that make sense?
