------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jul 9 04:03:34 -0700 2005 ------- This can be reproduced by creating a form with data from a table that is linked to another table by a Mastertable : Main table relation . For instance the field mastertable.key_id links to the master table keys with fields mastertable.key_id, mastertable.key_description. In the form.datasource there is only the key_id foreign key. By putting a dropdown list on the form i expect to link to the key_id field while showing the values of the key_description fields. On save the underlaying key_id of the selected value in the dropdown would be written to the form datasource table key_id. The defect is you cannot. You can show the values of key_description allright, but it try to store this key_description value to the form.datasource.key_id is stead of the key_id from the combobox. What did I do: - I placed a combobox on the form. The wizard appears. - I select the master table keys.keys_description as the display field - I select in the next step "Yes, I want to save it in the following database field" the form.datasource.key_id (This is where you'd expect to link, or be able to link, the mastertable.key_id to this field. now it links the mastertable.key_description field to it. ) - Now the field shows the form.datasource.key_id (Should have been the description from the mastertable) with a dropdown of all mastertable.descriptions (Ok) - I now select a value from the dropdown. -When saving the app complains I save the description into the database. I tried to set the values manualy but came to the same concusion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
