Thanks Alan.Any help or pointers is appreciated.

Here is my problem and it regards dbselect and dbfills.

Using the Domino Toolkit for Websphere I am trying to duplicate the following functionality and failing

A user selects a value from a keyword field where the options are derived from a view column (a simple @DbLookup). Values of some other fields are then computed (again using @Dblookup) based on the selected keyword.

So for instance a user selects a sub category, and the associated category and Program Manager are automatically computed.

This is what I did :

<domino:dbselect name=“SubCat” displayitem=“SubCat” view=“ViewSubCatByNo”>

<domino:dbfill target=“SubCatDesc” dbfield=“SubCatDesc” />

<domino:dbfill target=“CtgCode” dbfield=“CtgCode” />

<domino:dbfill target=“CatDesc” dbfield=“CatDesc” />

</domino:dbselect>

In this case

In read mode the SubCat field displays BLANK instead of the existing value.

In edit mode it DOES NOT default-select the existing value and infact defaults to ‘Select’.

But on selection of a Sub Category it DOES compute the associated fields specified in the dbfill tag.

If I add the attribute - valueitem=“SubCat” in my dbselect tag,

<domino:dbselect name=“SubCat” displayitem=“SubCat” valueitem=“SubCat” view=“ViewSubCatByNo”>

In this case

In read mode the SubCat field DOES display the existing value (for some reason preceded by a bullet)

In edit mode it DOES default-select the existing value.

But on selection of a Sub Category it CRASHES!

Can somone please let me know what I am doing wrong here? At the expense of stating the obvious the desired functionality would be:

In read mode the SubCat field DOES display the existing value (for some reason preceded by a bullet)

In edit mode it DOES default-select the existing value.

But on selection of a Sub Category it DOES compute the associated fields specified in the dbfill tag.

Any help would be much appreciated

TIA
