Select more than one record

Unread post by marc »

A Lookup Object is used to select one record from another table. Now I need to be able to select several records at once.
An example would be when searching for the word "fruit" and then one could select a certain selection of fruits or to search for a company's name and then pick the individual employees of that company. The selected records would then be transferred to a subform grid of the calling form. Up to 20 records can be selected form the lookup form so it would be very tedious if each record had to be selected individually.

A) Is this feasable with a lookup object ?

B) If not, is there another possiblity?

marc,

The only Object in nuBuilder Forte that allows you to select more than one record at a time is a Select Object.

Would it not be possible to show checkboxes in the browse form and, if checked, transfer a value of that row to a subform grid?

You can do that by adding some javascript.

- add checkboxes to a browse form
- write your own nuSelectBrowse()
- add an extra button. When hit, the selected records will be added to the parent's subform grid
