Hi all,

Hopefully this is not too tedious..

I'm currently using the UDT to store employee phone numbers. There is the simple as well as a more advance searching for the columns but I need to bind a column (e.g. department) to a dropdownlist. I will need the populated dropdownlist to be somewhere on top of the UDT to act as a filter. Thus users do not have to guess what are departments to search or whether are the dept abbreviated or not.

Can this be done? Where do I start?

Really appreciate if anyone could give me a few pointers, no coding required, just things like: 1. Look for the table named xxx after you created in UDT module, 2. create SP to get the columns, 3. place a dropdownlist in xxx.ascx, 4...

Thanks in advance!

to use a dropdownlist in edit form, you need to specify this in column definition in Manage UserDefinedTable:

edit the column and simply add the values delimited by semicolon into "list of Values" property.

There is currently no support for a dropdown filter instead of the search box, you will need to modífy module source.
