Using a Lookup Table Without a ListChoices Menu Item
There is one case in which you can include a Lookup table without Vision generating a ListChoices menu item or making a selection list available. This occurs if you create a Browse or Update frame and:
• Include a Lookup table in the visual query
• Display columns of the Lookup table as fields on the form
• Do not allow users to enter a qualification on the form
When a user calls the frame, the user cannot enter a qualification and select Go to retrieve a record. Vision:
• Displays the form with values already entered
• Retrieves data into the form based on the values of the displayed columns of the Lookup table
• Does not generate a ListChoices menu item for choosing from a selection list, because the user has no control over retrieving records onto the form
