Trying to understand all the designer 2000 tools, I got stuck on the use of the soft lov-checkbox which I find in the Data Diagrammer in the edit-table-dialog-box on the validation-page.
I have little info about the proper use of it. Can anyone help me please?
My reader tells me if I check this box validation will take place against the allowable values in a reference table.
What I did is the following:
On the same page where I found the checkbox, I defined a few allowable
values, I then checked the box. I went to the update-Reference-code-tables
via the menu in the Ron, filled in the table name in which I defined the
values, tried to fill in the module name of a module (based on the table) in
which I wanted it to work. But, I couldn’t fill in the module name (there
was nothing in the pop-list). So desperately I ran the thing without having
a module name filled in and to my surprise it started to create rows in the
reference table.
I then inserted the table in the database, Generated the module and found an
lov with my allowable values.
My questions are,
So far did I do something wrong?
Why is the lov still available if I uncheck the soft-lov checkbox and
regenerate the module?
How can I select a module-name (and why should I) in the
update-reference-code-table utility, since my list was empty?
If you know where I can find these answers online that would be of great
help too.
Thanks
