I am creating a custom constituent tab. I have been following Ryan’s Powerpoint presentation and it has been tremendously helpful. However, I have reached a roadblock.
I am trying to use dependent dropdowns in this manner:
· I have a custom LT_ table with several columns, including:
customer_no
id_key
question
answer
keyword_no
· The plan is that all columns in this table will be pre-populated EXCEPT answer.
· The intention is that the dependent dropdown will select from T_KWCODED_VALUE based on keyword_no in the custom table; then column answer in the custom table will be set to T_KWCODE_VALUE.id
· I have pre-populated my custom table with two rows and when I go into the custom tab I get prompted for keyword_no. I respond and the data displays fine and the dropdown works with the keyword_no I manually enter. The problem is that the second row never displays, and I shouldn’t have to enter the keyword_no.
Ideas??

It seems like the anser dropdow is not getting passed the keyword_no field. I would check the setup of the dropdown. I would double check the name and tag properties, and also the setting under the edit tab for the dropdown.
If you want to share the code I could take a look at it.
Sharon, make sure that “Autoretrieve” is unchecked for the dependent dropdown on the Edit Tab of the column properties.

Thanks for your prompt replies!!! I did figure out the two problems I had but managed to introduce some new ones. (FYI, I think the problem with being prompted for the keyword_no was that I had accidentally made both the edit field and the display field have dropdown windows associated).
Now, the problems are:
- how to make the dropdown window scrollable.
- when I first go into the screen I can change the value I select from the dropdown and the new selection is saved. When I go away from the tab and come back and select a new value, the first row in the dropdown is selected no matter which value I highlight.
Thanks again for your help. I am an InfoMaker newbie...!!
