drop-down menu in a Page

[Guest]

I have a "page" that is being used more as a form. It is a bill of lading
and some of the product info, weights, etc. feeds in from the product table.
Then, the user adds consignee and trucker info which updates the sales order
table. All of this works fine, but I need to get more uniformity in the
input of consignees and truckers so that various reports are more precise (we
have numerous users and I keep getting different variations on consignees,
spelling differences, etc). I thought it was an easy fix to add drop down
menus naming the primary consignees and truckers. So, I created the drop
down menus in the sales order table, but they do not follow through to the
"page" (like they would in a form). Am I doing something wrong? Do I have
to copy the "page" into a form? If so, how? It has a lot of detail and
otherwise works well for generating bills of lading.

If the "page" still has the original text box you'll need to change it to a
combo box for it to work correctly. Don't forget the "limit to list"
property or they'll still type what they want...
