In our CRM package we can assign sales reps to sales managers. When a sales manager looks at a job listing or account listing they can only see the records for his/her own sales reps.

I need to build a sales manager browse dialog and need to hide the sales rep field, which I can do, but I need to supply a filter behind the scenes such as SalesRep = 'A' or 'B' or 'C' etc.. 

Can I do something like this in the current version?  If not, do you plan on adding this sometime soon?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

That is a feature I also requested previously, see my posts at: http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic12011-7-1.aspx

So far, there is no way to filter a combo based on data selected in another object in the Browser Dialog. 

I hope they can add this feature soon!!!

Hi guys.

It is just a thought... what if 2 Browse Dialogs where dropped on the form? The first one could search the parent, and then the second one could have the parent PK set with the current parent value, and not visible.

Would this be a workaround for the time being? Or just a lot of nonsense? Blush

Hi Ivan,

It is not a nonsense, but it would be very ugly and not user friendly to the end user.  In my case the DB has several fields to do the search, and only 2 of those are related or depend on each other, but the user can select any of the other fields, and I don't see how one would separate those fields and add a 2nd dialog to handle the situation.
