Hi,

In DBRadioGroup I can define Values that correspond with data in the database, and Items which are visible to the user. All in one component. In DBLookupComboBox I cannot find such feature and must define and connect a separate table. Is there a combobox component with Items and Values?
What is the simplest solution?
 
I think you should use DBComboBox. The only drawback is that you must fill the Items property manually.
 
DBComboBox has the Items property, but it has not the Values property such as e.g. DBRadioGroup. Perhaps the philosophy is that in that case the connection between the db values/codes and the interpretation is in the applic and not in de DB itself.

In the meantime I've bypassed my problem and made a new DB table.

Thanks
