Hello Alan,

thanks for you hint. Unfortenately I am also using the same query in a TIB_Grid, where I want to see most of the fields.
I supose I will have to use a seperate query for my purpose, using only the fields I want to see in the dropdown list.

Regards
Rainer

Queck,
set teh query fields to visible false for all fields you don't want to see -
just like doing it for a grid
