Drop down list from Database

[hardrock1997]

Hi All,

New here, I'm trying to populate a drop down list based on a DB column. My dataconnection has a field in it called name, I'm binding the drop down list to the DataConnection and selecting the name from the binding flyout. When I preview the pdf the drop down contains the first name found in the name column of the DB. There is nothing else in the drop down list but that name, when I select the drop down button it doesn't drop down anything?

What I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Todd

On the Object palette on the for right side is a fly out menu indictor. Right click on that and choose show dynamic properties. That will change some of the properties on the palette to an underline highlight color. Now on the Field tab you will see that the ListItems is a bindable property. Click on the link and fill out the Dynamic properties dialog box.

Hi Paul,

Thanks, that’s what I was missing, I now have a drop down list.

Thanks again!
