Search in arrays

[tkuypers at telenet.be]

Hi Mark,

Either I don’t understand this, or I didn’t explain it correctly…
gArray contains app. 10.000 lines of data
Item 1 is a unique ID
Item 2 contains the supplier
Item 3 contains the main group
Item 4 contains subgroup 1
Item 5 contains subgroup 2
Item 6 contains subgroup 3
Item 7 contains subgroup 4
Item 8 contains subgroup 5
Item 9-15 contains productinfo

I filled a list field with the keys of item 3
When I click on an item in that list, I would like to see a second list filled with the keys belonging to the clicked item.

So when I understand your code, this should be:
on mouseUp
 	put gArray[the selectedText of field “Maingroup"] into field “Subgroup"
end mouseUp
But this doesn’t do anything…

What am I missing?


Met vriendelijke groeten,
Warm Regards,
