Second Value in Value List

[Debra Murdock]

Hi - I have a timesheet data entry screen where I'm using a portal to a timesheet history file. In the portal I have a value list where I want to show the Client ID and Client Name. I'm using the option of showing the second value only showing (easier on the users) and it works great - populates the Client ID and then captures Client Name. The problem I'm having is that I would prefer not to have the Client ID stay showing. I want to the Client Name to appear in that area. I've tried making the Client ID transparent and laying the Client Name field over the top but I keep getting both images when in browse mode. I could just make the value list based on Client Name but I believe it's more efficient to have relationships build on a numeric index. Obviously I'm doing something wrong - all suggestions, as usual, are welcome.

Use the pop-up menu instead of the drop down list
