Editing and Updating a Value in DCBROWSECOL
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:55 am
I am trying to edit a value in DCBROWSECOL with a function, MyFunction, called by VALID.
When MyFunction closes, I need to pass the value back to DCBROWSECOL and have the screen display the new value in the cell.
I have tried, among other things, the code below.
The result is that the value in the cell for Element 2 is originally typed "ABC 1234", MyFunction allows the user to select "ABC 1234 GOLD", the second value flashes in the cell after closing MyFunction and is quickly replaced with the original value "ABC 1234". The number of choices is over 200,000 so is too big for a user to select from without narrowing the choices. MyFunction narrows them based on what is originally typed in the cell, so if I use DCCOMBOBOX the array of choices would have to built and passed to DCCOMBOBOX after the data is typed into the cell.
Could someone kindly show me how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
