- I have a column in a tablefield in Windows4GL that is a varchar. My
- user needs to be able to choose from a list of values for the field.
- There are a couple of 100 possible choices. What is the best way to
- implement this?
-
- Right now I'm trying to set up an option field but the choices are in
- a table in the DB and I don't see anyway to set up the option field
- with the values in the table.
-
- I've thought of putting another table field on the screen but it
- seemed like a whole-lotta-work for something that should be so simple.
