Lets say I have ANIMAL table, with field called location.
Thisa field stores where the animal finds itself.
Location could have values eg: here, there, anywhere.
Now I could insert these values using a IB_COMBOBOX, with the dataset set
to Animal table, and the field to location, and a stringlist which contains
"here, there, anywhere".
This is however a hardcoded method for static variables..
Thus I created table location, for the user to add their own locations eg:
"CampB, CampC, CampD"
And now I would like to insert values from LOCATION table using a dropdown
list into the ANIMAL tables location field for every animal.
Perhaps IB_LOOKUPCOMBO is not the correct component to use?
How would you suggest I go about this.
