M mmponline author Is there an easy / quick way to transfer Visual Editor properties of fields. I have two projects for the same tables. One for admin, the other for user. I've added all the dropdowns, etc. to the admin project. I now need to do this on the user part as well. Unfortunately there are different fields used in each and I've added many customised info on both sides, so it would take ages to save the admin and redo the user one. My need: I need to transfer the properties of the many dropdowns from admin's add, edit and view pages to the user side. I tried to open both projects and copy and paste the properties, but NADA! As Eg. The title field (admin) contains a dropdown Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss. This needs to be added to the user side as well. As far as I can figure out, the only way is to add each new dropdown individually. This will take ages with over 50 fields. And 3 pages in each table. Any suggestions? Stephan

	You can set up list tables in your MySQL database and then populate the drop down fields from the list tables (you do this on the right hand side of the lookup table properties dialog). This is ideal if you have long lists, lists that occur more than once or lists that change (items are added, edited or deleted). <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=13042&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
