passing data between databases

Hi,

I have three databases inside a single application.
One database is updated both via data entry and with information coming from the other two databases.
I thoght XUserselect would have been the ideal statement to allow the users to choose with value they wish to enter into the new form. Unfortunatley I have not been able to make this work and would appreciate any suggestion from those of you with greater level of experience.

Undecided

XUserselect works fine for the purpose that you have indicated. Please remember that x-family commands and functions do not work in the preview mode, I believe that might have discouraged you. If you have problem with any particular code, please give more information and I am sure someone here will help you.

I was not aware that the preiew mode did not support these lookups.

Thank you for your response

After making xuserselect work, you may explore the power of xuserselectr to make the list short and managable, especially if you have a long list for selection.  This has been discussed in some earlier threads.
