Which form is holding the data that you imported from the file? Which form has the menu with the multi-row field?
What's the name of the field on the form holding the data? What's the name of the multi-row field? Let's get some names established so we can all be sure we're on the same sheet of music. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Serouche Rahimpour Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 10:14 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: how to read the whole content of a drop-down menu I can't exactly do that because I am firing the AL on the form which contains CC list Thus my AL will look like 'FIELD B' LIKE (("%" + $CC list$) + "%") So should I understand this has no chance to work ? Do I need to change the workflow to fire the check on the other form ? Then how my submission on form A will check the fire on form B ? I actually do not see how to run this on the web because the $PROCESS$ is not allowed on that platform. On the user tool ok fine I believe I can do it ...
