Dependent Dropdown using binary operators

PHPRunner General questions

Been using PhpRunner for years and now I am stumped.
I need to use the lookup wizard for a dropdown box.
The dropdown box is dependent on AreaID. The part I am stuck on is that I need to use a binary operator to generate the list
if menumask & areaid = true it displays in the dropdown.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks

Karl,
you need to elaborate. It's not clear if you are talking about hiding the whole dropdown control or hiding some items in dropdown control.

Okay, thank you for responding.
AreaID is a drop downlist it contains display {Customer Service, Order Management, Inventory Management) these map to the values 1,2,4 respectively. (powers of two that correspond to a bit)
The TaskList has a field MenuMask, this has an integer value a value of 1 the item will show when Customer Service is selected in the AreaID field. If the menu mask is 5 (1+4) the menu item will show when Customer Service or Inventory Management is selected.
if you use a bitwise and between tasklist and the areaid selected you will get the drops downs defined for that area.
Does that help?
if I could use the values["AreaID") & MenuMask in the where clause, I would be done> When I try, the sql comes back blank for AreadID.

Sorry, this doesn't help.
