I sometimes create table of list items (normally just a string). listitem1 listitem2 listitem3 I then use the table to populate pulldowns. I did simple stuff like this in VFP. I could have added a PK but it was not required all it did was provide a static list. But if the client wanted to add or change the list I had ability to make changes immediately without change code. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
