I don't believe so. The only alternative I have found is have adjacent
character fields to represent the levels of your menu, where the
contents of the second field are dynamically determined by the contents
of the first. This takes up room on the screen, of course.

That's the only way I can think of too, but it won't work in this case, :(

The user is presented with one selection list after the other.
I've done 3 levels this way and our users have found it works well. How many levels are you considering?

that you could make pull right query menus. I've never tried this, but
there is something about compiling the "driver" in the API/source directory
on the server, and using the create menu function. One caveat is that you
can't build or open this menu in the admin tool or it will corrupt. This
isn't much to go on (from my own very limited notes of a few years ago),
but perhaps it will jog the memory of someone else with more knowledge of this.

number of situations.

The first level or two might be static, but for each static item, you
associate a query menu. There are some problems however with using a query
menu which
references the current screen--they do not work in all cases (can't remember
which, it might only be direct SQL menus).

I would belive that the driver program can do it for you. Or you could write
your own API program to do it--but the ARLoadARQualifierStruct function cannot
handle parsing quals that reference the current screen--you have to build the
structures manually.

At an advance topics seminar at RUG '98, they breifly talked about a way
that you could make pull right query menus. I've never tried this, but
there is something about compiling the "driver" in the API/source directory
on the server, and using the create menu function. One caveat is that you
can't build or open this menu in the admin tool or it will corrupt. This

2 levels - the first will search another remedy table and the criteria is
'Individual's Status' = "Present-Available", and will list a group, the
second will list the people's names associated with that group:
ex:
IBM
Ted
Jan
Kim
ORACLE
Bob
Sam
Lexi
REMEDY
Tom
Bill
Fred

Does that make sense??
Thanks,
Mary

Mary, in a sense, yes. By creating multiple Search menus and creating a
series of active links to do the search. The menu button on the field
triggers the first search. The menu choice triggers the second & subsequent
searches which are controlled by execution order. You can use the single
target result field for each search or a hidden field.

The user is presented with one selection list after the other.

Now, what if the user makes a mistake and chooses the wrong group in the
first place, like IBM instead of ORACLE, and there are different people
assigned to each group. When the user clicks on the menu button a third
time, it says there's no menu to display.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

I can try that, but I know that the users will object, if they have to take
another step.

On the third attempt, the message "No Menu To Display" appears at the
bottom. Is there a way to capture that or use that in the run if so that if
it sees that message it can reset the menu to original menu?

Thanks,
Mary

How about a hidden button that comes visible after the 3rd select that
resets the menu?
