Hi.

My problem is that I want to populate the drop down lists without having to
perfrom a full query first.

I want the users to be able to choose the options for their query from a
drop down list populated by the data source. I've already coded it to remove
duplication. But I can't get it from pulling up every entry when I try and
set it up to get the drop down list.

Thanks.

Matt

Create another data connectoin which only gets the values needed to populate the drop-down list. Make that new data connection query onload.
