ASPRunnerPro General questions

Is there a way to make the search fields a dropdown list based on values in a table or a value list?
Sergey Kornilov admin 11/9/2005

Yes,
please choose Lookup wizard Edit as type for your field on Formatting tab in ASPRunnerPro.
Then rebuild your project and you'll see a dropdown box on Advanced search page.

What can I do if my Edit as type for my fields is disabled since I use the application for view and search only and not to add or edit, How can I bypass it?
Thanks

You can enable (checkboxes) the Add and Edit functions in the Key column (step 7 of 12), change the "Edit as" in the format page (step 8 of 12) and then go back to step 7 and disable them again (uncheck checkboxes) - it will still keep the edit as formats (drop down lists in your case)

The method that Rezvan recommens will work just fine.
Also I'd like to add that in the next version of ASPRunnerPro you will be able to set format for search controls without enabling and disabling Edit page.

In the suggested way it makes me problems when trying to get to child tables.

Is there way to do that through code?
Thanks
