Hi =)
I'm working on a form in Designer ES4 with an ODBC connection and I'm trying to populate/filter dropdown lists.
The idea is this:
User chooses from dropdown list 1* an option.
After making that choice, the user can select an option from dropdown list 2**.
(* here, there should only appear distinct elements of the column 1 of the table)
(** here, there should only appear elements of the column 2 which column 1 element match the previous choice)
Ok, so I've created a database and a simple table in SQL Server Express with just 2 columns (and 6 lines) and I'm able to set up the connection in Livecycle.
The problem I'm having is when I try to populate dropdown list 1. I've followed this tutorial:

With no luck what so ever. I cannot even open the first dropdown list. I've made those changes in the initialize event on the javaScript console:
var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection";
var sColHiddenValue = "ID";
var sColDisplayText = "typeObject";
And the dropdown list just shows the first item. I cannot open it.
Can I just access data from the Database without making any binding, using just queries and adding items to the dropdown lists?
Thanks =)
