please help.
my db has many! forms.
1. on each form's header, i want to use a combo box/droplist as a "menu" with "links" for the user to access any other form in the db. something like a "quick menu". i created a table (1 field) with Hyperlinks to all the Forms, but then in the combobox's list on the form it displays the "full path" of the hyperlink instead of the "description" as entered in the table's field. what am i doing wrong ?
2. in the combobox i click on the item(hyperlink) in the list but then it does not follow that link, instead it closes the list and displays the selected item and when i then click on the link it goes to the link. i hope you understand what i mean here. what must i do ?
3. i've tried linking the combobox to the s/board manager but that just made things worse !
i'm new to a2k and will appreciate any help.
thanks,
Piet.
