Thank you Oliver. I know a list with 200 items is not a good design but I can't think of anything else to use. I probably will end up using two databases to populate the lists at runtime to avoid maintenance headache.
That brings up another question. Is it possible to show the text in the list window but hold an id (pk from the database) as the key to the entry? So when I match the entry with another database, I can use the id as cross reference to compare instead of text. Forgive me for this question... I feel so ashamed to ask. I don't seem to be able to find the place to change project settings. It's not under Preferences nor Project. --- Oliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have to type in all 300 entries :( > > Well, if you have the entries for your dropdown > lists in a Palm database anyway, I'd suggest > looking into using the list draw callback > mechanism.
