Author Self-referencing Drop-down List Box ?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create a list box on an update frame that
shows the frame's own update table, but shows a separate instance of
that table?

When I put a drop-down list box like this on an update window, I find
that it acts as a browse and changes the file cursor. I want it to
act independently, for selecting a linked row within the same table,
and not change the current frame's file cursor. Perhaps there is some
easy way to do this?

Hi Kurt

Create an Alias of your table and use that to populate your list box,
this way the original file's pointers won't change.

Regards
Johan
