maybe I shall give more details on my problem and the situation:
I have a file with a list of mailing-lists
I have created a form (A) with one character field which reads the file
and displays it as a menu
I have another form (B) with a character field where people add emails
(CC list).
What I'd like to do is to bounce people from adding mailing-lists into
the CC list field. :-)
...
I can't get it :-(
...
any help ?
Thanks

Or better yet, create a form specifically for the menu items and then
importing the items from the file into the form? Then field validation
is extremely easy...and you don't have nitnoid separate files to
maintain.

Have you tried pulling the file that your menu reads from into an
unlimited length, display only field and then using string functions
(such as STRSTR) to find if the value entered is in the list?
If that doesn't work maybe a run process utilizing grep or find?

Re: how to read the whole content of a drop-down menu
I just tried with $MENU$ and the browser (because it has to be on the
web) returns $MENU$ in the field.
I checked afterwards in the Admin tool. It has corrected $MENU$ for
"$MENU$"
Another idea ?

you tried $MENU$?

Subject: how to read the whole content of a drop-down menu
hi,
let say I have a drop-down menu which values come from a Menu which
reads itself from a file.
Let say on another form I have a character field and I want to check
the
content of this field (what users type in) is or is not in the
drop-down
menu.
I tried with different filters and AL but each time I am not able to
read the whole list (about 900 entries in the drop-down list.)
Any idea/help/questions?
Many thanks.
Cheers
Serouche
