I'm searching an external database using @DbCommand and ODBC. The SQL command in @DbCommand returns a string of possible matches, separated by commas which I have in a field called results. I want these possible matches to be presented to the user in a combo-box so I'm using the "Use formula for choices" option. I've been trying for to get the search matches to display in the combo-box so that the user can select the correct one. I've tried it with the @Explode function and without.


Can anyone help??

Many Thanks


 
try the following with your formula, create a keyword field and set it to computed using a formula and insert your formula.
 
Go into Results Field Properties.
Have you set your results field so that it can have multiple entries?
You may also need to set the multi-value options on the third tab to 'Seperate Values when user enters a comma'.

That should sort you out!
