[RBASE-L] - Re: Combo Box Values

[Alastair Burr]

There are other ways, Patrick, but I doubt any of them are any easier.   Using a table if you need to add another title - to use your examples, say "Dr." - all you need to do is add a row. If you try and do some fancy coding you're probably going to have to edit the code each time.   What I use is  a single table for all my "low number of rows" menus with these columns:   Menu_Type - to give me the particular rows Menu_Sort - to allow a sort other than on the next two columns Menu_Description - what appears on the menu Menu_Returned - what goes into the table via the form   You could argue that they should be different tables for each Menu_Type but this works for me.   Regards, Alastair.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Murphy To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 7:15 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Combo Box Values Is there an easier way to populate common values in a Combo Box, such as "Ms., Mrs., Mr.", state abbreviations, etc., other than using a table with these values pre-defined in it?   Thanks for any ideas.   Patrick Tucson 6.5++ 7.1 coming soon!
