I am trying to display a description on my form for a releated field.
This displays the description required, but for other items appearing in the list, the same value is repeated, also the value is held and displayed on the next item selected.

Eg
Order 123456

Pos.....Item...........Dim4..........Dim4 Desc (display required)
10......321321.......E00001......Project 56
20......112111.......E00002......Project 57
30......112222.........................Project 57

In the example above, why does the previous description display if no Dim4 is entered. this is also displayed no the next order number when next record is select.

I tried to reference the Dim4 in the table to the tfgld table, but does not accept my input.

Also tried field.tfgld010.desc before.display but same results.

Did you try to set the Inp/Ref expression on the form field?

One alternative to avoid this is simply to declare a description field and fill it in, i.e.


form.mydesc:
before.display:
get.form.mydesc()






functions:

function get.form.mydesc()
{
form.mydesc = ""

select...
selectdo
form.mydesc = ....
endselect

}

If you want to have reference you must have dtyp field in your form/table input (you may use script for fill this field) or
If you want to display only description follow nneilitz and do not forget about fields order
