Fenton Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 This is a file developed by a friend, Soren Dyhr, to which I added English instructions. It uses the Insert from Index step in a rather unique way. The advantage of this method is that you can effectively run a script after the choice, either on change or cancel. The value list itself can come from most anywhere. In this example it's fairly straightforward, but it can be adapted to work with related value lists and files.

BobWeaver Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 That's pretty slick. One suggestion though. You should set the format for 'aField' to not allow entry. Otherwise a user can bypass the script by tabbing into the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 Yes, you're right. Looks better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Queue- Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Wow! It caused Win2kPro to crash on the first attempt. Second one worked all right, though. My question: what are the benefits (on Windows, at least) of using this technique rather than a pop-up menu with a Pause/Resume [ ]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
