Sergey: How could we do the next?

  1. Leave a drop down box open allowing to type data in it so they can find the value that are looking to select faster and easier than going down and down over thousands of records in the list?
    2)When we type a letter or number over a combo box it goes to select the first value/row that start with that character but when we type the second letter or number to get closer it goes to find another one on the list. How can we allow to type something quick so they can find it easily?
    3)Also how can we validate a value entered in a text field to verify they entered a valid identification number, for example Cliente Number?
    This will help to expedite the work wen we work with big number of records.
    Thanks for the help

Alberto,

  1. you can find the record by first letter if you use "Order by" option in Lookup wizard field.
  2. the search function in combo-box is determined by browser. So ASPRunner can not help you.
  3. you need to add to the generated add/edit ASP page some custom java script code to check this validation.
