Subject RE: [IBO] TIB_LookUpCombo
Author Kaputnik
If you use Geoffs Enhanced lookup-combo, I think there is a possibility.....
using the standard one, there is no way I know of.....The problem is, that
by attaching two lookups pointing to two different rows in the table won't
do, as both lookups will show the same row and therefore one wrong
result.....

For such tasks like Languages or so, where the count of values is small, I
use list of values, where a normal combobox-items will be prefilled upon
form-creation instead of lookups...this performs better is is much easier to
handle.
