Hi support,
Can you help me with the following please, as i think that there is an error in the software.
In a product_table i have to fieldnames (Group, Subgroup) both numeric values as they are connected with

a dropdown-box, linked by ID-number, Showing GroupName/SubgroupName and SubgroupName is depending on the value of the GroupName and Display-Field is the text field of the table.
For example

Group_Table: ID = 1, GroupName = Computers

Subgroup_Table: ID=1 SubgroupName=Pentium
Creating a html report:
Group by field 1: Group (numeric field which links to Group_table.ID)

Group by field 2: Subgroup (numeric field which links to Subgroup_table.ID)

Showing all the field names, all ticked

Layout: Blocked

click through to Build
After that you open the site up in your browser and the following is happening:

The report is showing only the numeric values in the report which have been saved in the table, NOT the GroupName(text) and SubgroupName(text) as stated in the field dropdown-box display-field.
Working with ASPRunnerPro v6.2 build 5482
The only way round it is creating text-fields instead of numeric-fields, but if you change the name of a subgroup, you have to edit 1000's of records by hand.
Could you please help ASAP
Many thanks

Maurits,
just set up these fields as Lookup wizard on the "Edit as" settingsdialog on the Visual Editortab and choose text fields in the [b]Display field[/b]dropdown.
