Newbies williamos Posted April 7, 2003 Newbies Share Posted April 7, 2003 Could anyone tell me how a could transfer more that one selected choice from a portal to a field. I have a database setup that will track the appications that are installed on each station. I did get the data from the portal to auto-enter into a field, but if I choose and applcation from the portal, it fills in the field like it should. But what I am trying to do is to make the field auto fill with different selections instead of over writting the first one. For example with the set field option used if I select Outlook from my portal it auto fills in my software field with the selection "Outlook" but when it select Internet Explorer from the portal if over writes the "Outlook" selection and makes ti "Internet Explorer". I want the selection to add to the field instead of over writing the previous selection. Thanks in advance for any tips or solutions.

LiveOak Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 You didn't specify what you mean by "add to" a text field, clearly not numerical addition, but I'll take a stab. If you wish your text field to become a list of value separated by carriage returns, your Set Field should look like: SetField[YourField, YourField & " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugo DI LUCA Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hi, Set you're relationship to "Allow creation of related records". Oops...Set field ? didn't read the whole post before posting this one... Sorry ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies williamos Posted April 8, 2003 Author Newbies Share Posted April 8, 2003 Thanks , that worked just fine. Would also have a solution to prevent the data that is copied into the field to be only created just one time, even if the portal is selection on the same application name twice.
