result set database query

[Robert Mann]

Thanks got that working
now having trouble getting the variable to work in the new query

  global gnameid
  put gnameid into fld "gnameid"  --I know it is passing the id it puts it
in this fld

  put "SELECT * FROM workers WHERE workers.ID='gnameid'" into theSQL

if I put the number in the query it works fine

In your example, the ID number is the line number. If this is always
the case then you can use:
  the menuHistory of me
which gives the selected line number for a menu button.

If this is not the case, then you need to store the complet list
somewhere and refer back to it.

get the complete list
sort it the way you want
put it into a custom property
extract the names and put them into the menu

When a menu item is selected:

get the menuHistory of the menu button
find the line number of the custom property
get word 1 of that line to find the ID

HTH,
