Displaying a Database Column in a List Box

Question:
How do I display a column from a database in a list box?

Answer:
This presumes you have a view defined somewhere, either remotely or on the server as a procedure. In your front-end’s Control property sheet should be something called control.source.

After you query your view, try filling it out with the view.element name of the thing you want to display in the list box.
