[FX.php List] Summary of Records

[william.downs]

I never explain myelf properly - excuse me.

I have to FMFind first -

Then with the results, work out all the unique records - (as in a  
value list)

Then create an html select - messy, but the list does not exist until  
the search returns some values.

Hope thats clearer -

I have a nice drop down from below now,

many thanks

William

Ahh that one is simple, I thought you wanted to do summary,
why not make valuelist from field and use FMView to give you the  
valuelist?
