Hi,

I have created in subform with a select object in it.
Unfortunately the values when loaded from the DB is not displayed.
It is displayed
-) when I change the type of the object into "input" text
-) when records are created from my nuBuilder application

It seems that there is not match between the values in the DB and the values of the select object.

Thanks in advance,

Bri

Hi,

Can you show your "SQL or List" for the role select?

Does an existing row also contain a numeric value ( 0,1,2,3,4) ?

Run SQL Updates on your DB the replace each string with its numeric value. E.g.

Code: Select all

UPDATE your_table SET
rl_role = '0'
WHERE 
rl_role = 'Donateur';
(Replace your_table with your table name)

Then replace all other string values likewise.

Code: Select all

UPDATE your_table SET
rl_role = '1'
WHERE 
rl_role = 'Contact';
etc.

Maybe but it means in all my code (SP ...) I need to use these numerical values :-(
No other way to escape ?

Well, instead of having a value/text pair in your SQL list

Code: Select all

0|Donateur|1|Contact|2 ....
You could have the same string for the value and text.

Code: Select all

Donateur|Donateur|Contact|Contact|...
In this way the string is stored in the database.

Hi,

Still a question ... something that escapes me :-(
In the subform (grid), I would like to have the fields ordered: role, sous_role, type but it seems it keeps the order of the form object list ... and I do not have any control :-(

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Regards,

Bri
