-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 By list boxes do you mean boxes where you can type in multiple IDs or upload files of IDs, or do you mean drop-down menus of values from the database?
If the latter, there is an automated way of doing this - right click on the filter and choose 'make drop down'. This will modify the filter AND create the internal Options to specify the values that can be chosen (it does this by doing a select distinct on the appropriate column in the database). If the Options are missing, the filter is effectively empty and will not get displayed. cheers, Richard allank wrote: > Hi all, > > I am unable to have controls created as list boxes displayed on biomart > 0.5.
