I think that you can't do this the way you want to do. That is, you
can't determine which record from the original database the user has
clicked on. Instead, you have to get all your data in advance and
save it away in a local or global variable. For example:
global glAdditionalInfo -- global list of additional info
mOrderBy(gTable, "StillToDo")
mSelect(gTable)
put mGetSelection(gTable, "LITERAL", 1, mSelectCount(gTable), ", ",
return, "StillToDo") after field "STILL TO DO LIST"
-- add somethng like this:
glAdditionalInfo = (gTable, "List", 1, mSelectCount(gTable),
"AdditionalInfo")
Now you have all the additional info for all selected records in a
global list. When the user clicks on your StillToDo field, you
determine the line number clicked on, and use that as an index into
the glAdditionalInfo list and put out the matching Additional Info.
Good luck,
