Is there a way to include more than one dynamic drop-down box in one form?

When i try to create more than one Webfocus dynamic drop-down menu through Front Page,I receive a message which states "Sorry you already have a dynamic drop down control in this form. If you would like to add another one, you must first remove the previous one."

I believe that is a limitation of the Frontpage offering. Use WF Resource Layout instead. You can alway import into Frontpage after.

You could always comment out the combo box using < !-- and --> and then uncomment it later.

Hi daysleeper,

Has this issue been resolved?

Have you got a chance to try dhagen's suggestion, using WebFOCUS Resource Layout instead of Frontpage? I ran some search on Information Builders' online documents and came across the following, which may be of interest as well:

Hope this helps. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry
