Hi,
hope someone has the patience and skill to give me a nice
answer on this...
The situation is that I want to make a form for entering data
into a database,
- There should be 3 SELECT:s on the top which should give some
  properties of the entered data.
- I The trick is that these SELTECs are dependent on each other. ie.
  Selecting alternative 1 from the first select should (by using ONCHANGE=
)
  change the possible alternatives of the second box.
- The alternatives are easy to extract from the database and I have a ZSQ=
L =
method
  for doing that, but my problem is getting the thing to work in
  Formulator.
- I have a method that returns the item list for Select 2 accepting as an=
 =
argument
  the current selected  value of Select2, but I cannot seem to find the w=
ay to =
pass
  this value from the Form. Whatever I do  in Formulator I end up with =
  an undefined variable.
Surely this way of doing dataentry cannot be that unusual????
Thanks in advance
