Re: Designer 2000 question

Damn - I'm getting old and careless here - I forgot the most important thing:

It's true that Designer/2000 could display a database field as a GUI item *if* the field belonged to at domain with a fixed number of values (or if there was a fixed number of allowable values for the field).

However in the case I was referring to this was not the case (we did not want to limit the allowable values at compile-time but only at run-time, since we are dealing with a fairly dynamic system).

Please take this into account when reading my post.

Sorry for the slip - I'll go beat myself up any minute now, hopefully that'll teach me to think more before acting.
