I have a form with lookup field type. How do I populate list of site subcribers into drop down choice for this field? Thanks!

No chance, this type is not useful during edit. lookup looks up additional information for an other column in list mode..

Thank you for your reply. How would you solve this issue? I need to populate a drop down box that is a part of form field with a list of DNN registered users. Is there another module you would recommend for this?

You will surly not like my answer:

I will wait for a user selector control that is part of the dotnetnuke core. A dropdown list can get very unhandy if your user base grows up and lists up more than some hundreds of users.

Hi Stefan

I read your answers with interest regarding populating a drop down list within "Form & List"  - Tricky if not impossible at this time.

I have a slightly different requirment to JakeMan35, i want to simply populate a drop down list (in FnL)  using the country values in the "Lists" table.

Countries rarely change names unless there is a coup attempt or whatever... i know i can populate the DDL manually, however all ~250 countries will not fit in to the input box for the drop down list. I had been using DataSpring "Dynamic Forms" which has a specific "DNN Country" dropdown, however Dynamic Forms has driven me near madness and i am finished with using their products. anyway i digress.

Form and List is simple and easy to work with, however i can not seem to populate a dropdownlist from the Lists/Country table in the database.
Here is the snippet of SQL i want to use - but Oh where to put it :)

SELECT Text FROM dbo.lists WHERE ListName = 'Country';

Any ideas would be gratefully received.
