Hello Tekers,
Hope every1 has a great Christmas and New Year.
I have a basic question displaying value of dropdown box and would like to find out a general method to handle large amount of them.
My situation.
A form has about 60 of these dropdown mostly contain 3 to 4 items. On the data entry portion, I am ok with them. My question is in the update procedure when I need to load them back in. For example, in data entry one can just select the item in the box and its index saved in the db. When I bring them back; the index value is display.
I have been using the case in the SQL statement to substitute the index for the display value, but this is ok for small size and # of dropbox. I don't think this is efficient with 60+.
Does any1 has any suggestion how I might tackle this problem?? If you do please share, and I really appreciate your input & direction.
TIA
