With the COMBODYN2 how does one know which option the user selected. What I would like to do is display a list of options for the user, and then when they select one, they press a button (e.g. Select) and then I want to display a record based on the option in the COMBO box. The problem is that I am trying to iterate through the VALIDVALUESPROP to see which one was selected by looking at the STATUS field (defined as a U field). Usually I would have expected it to be a logical, so I am sure I am missing something. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. ---

A COMBODYN2 has a VALUEPROP and a VALIDVALUESPROP property. In the VALIDVALUESPROP data structure you specify the values among which the users can select. When the user has selected a value, the VALUEPROP data structure contains the selected value. In case you would like to react immediately to a selection you can do the following: 1. set the property FLUSH to server 2. set a flushmethod In this case your Natural program will be immediatly notifyd when the user has selected a new value. In this server roundtrip you can display the record based on the selected value. This means, you do not need an additional button for this. Best Regards, Christine ---
