Is it possible to pass an argument into DropDownDW on custom tab. I am trying to populate a drop down with order numbers for a customer on a custom tab.
Thanks

Dean,
There may be other ways to do this that are more direct but the way I did it was to create a separate infomaker object for your drop down with a simple select statement as a data source, then referenced that object in the main report.

Dale,
I have a separate infomaker object set up, the issue I am having is that I want a where clause in that select statement to limit the drop down by the customer_no. I have set a retrieval arguement for customer_no, but when I pull the custom tab it is prompting me for the customer_no as opposed to pulling it from the customer that the custom tab is in.
Does what I am trying to do make sense?
B-Dean,
You have to pass the customer_no argument from the primary custom screen to the dropdown datawindow. In the properties of the dddw on the main custom screen there should be an arguments list where you can click the ... button. That opens a new window (the computed fields window) find customer_no in the list on the bottom right, select and save. That should pass the customer_no to the dddw.

Anna,
I cannot find the arguements list in the dddw properties. What properties tab would it be on? I am trying to figure out how to dramatically change my look for Florida ;).
