valid values for a lookup attribute of a category using LAPI

[kgoodman123]

Does anybody know how to get the valid values for a lookup attribute of a category using LAPI (VB preferred but any language would do)?

I am able to get the "type", "required", "length", etc using AttrGetInfo but not the "validvalues" for a lookup attribute. The LAPI documentaion says that you can get the "validvalues" for a popoup attribute, and I have tried this but with no success. I need the "default" or "validvalues" for a lookup item without having to resort to using SQL.

I'm using Livelink 9.0.0.1

Any help in the area of lookups would be useful as the LAPI documentaion doesn't seem to cover this topic at all.

Are you looking for ordinary pop up values or cascading attributes the ones where one sql puts one value and the selection passed to the next attribute and so on.In either case I do not know offhand .

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
