Gary, Opela: thanks. the $fieldid$ worked. One thing I am noticing is that when I select customer and click on the devices, it shows the correct list of devices the first time. But when I change the customer, I keep seeing the same device list I saw the first time. Do I have to create a active link and perform something or can I set some property in the form so the device query is rerun everytime I change the customer?

Thanks
Ravi

Betreff: Re: Using value from a SQL menu in another SQL menu's query

Ravi, try referencing the field ID of the txt_CUSTNAME, such as %536870914%, in 
the SQL Query. You might have to work with it a little, I cannot think off the 
top of my head using a field ID in a direct SQL menu, but I think it will work. 
The menus don't see the field names, just the IDs.

Thanks,

Gary Opela, Jr.

Subject: Using value from a SQL menu in another SQL menu's query

I have a form with two menus: customer and device. The customer menu lists all 
the customers using a SQL (select distinct(CUST_NAME) from ASSET order by 
CUST_NAME). I want the 2nd menu to list devices that belong to that customer 
(select distinct(DEV_NAME) from ASSET where CUST_NAME = 'txt_CUSTNAME' order by 
DEV_NAME). txt_CUSTNAME is the name of the customer field in the form. This 
does not seem to be working. How

do configure the 2nd menu to use the customer the user selected from the

first menu item?

Thanks
Ravi
