------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 4 13:25:18 -0700 2005 ------- First I create a database with a table Person containing the following columns : - id integer - name string - birthday date - status integer references Status(id) Then, I create a form containing a tablecontrol. The form creation wizard asks me to select the table, then the fields I wish to use. I select all fields from table Person. The wizard guesses the appropriate column types for each column based on its SQL type. It creates a numeric column for field "id", a text column for field "name", and a date column for field "birthday". However, the wizard just creates a numeric column for field "status". It would provide a much better user experience if instead, it asked me which field from table "Status" to display (say, "name"), and created a "list box" field with type of list content set to "sql" and list content set to "select name, id from Status". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
