"Temporary" Drop Down List

[Greg Hains]

Hi,

 

I have a status screen that contains a list of items and would like to offer the end user a way to display it in different sort order. I have created buttons that run scripts that work fine, but want to offer a drop-down box to do this, however, a drop down list is essentially a field, as as it's a field, the information is stored in the table. The problem with this is that if several users want to access this screen each wanting their own sort order, then this method does not work.

 

Is anybody aware of a method I could employ to achieve this?

 

Cheers,

Greg

Use a global field - the value is unique for each session.
