XPages Help

Hi,I am working on an XPage application and have a few questions on what I am doing incorrect or how to proceed. This is the first one.

What I am looking to do it have a combobox which is getting values from a @Dbcolumn lookup on a separate database (This works fine) and when the user selects a name from this list a embedded view is updated. I have read many post on this using either session scope or view scope variables or just referencing the field. I have tried this all with no success. I have tried having on the Click and Change events of the field to set a session scope varialbe and partial update the view but nothing changes.

The second question I am no sure how to proceed or if it is even possible. I have loaded fields from a separate data source onto the custom control. I am looking to have the user choose a name from the above combobox and a report period from a second combobox and having a submit button do a getdocumentbykey and load that document into the data source and show those field values.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve
