SetGenFilter - Avoid duplicate values

#1

Hi,

I want to populate the list of a combobox with records from a database. The
db field however contains the same value many times. Is it possible to
create a filter which only adds one of each value with setGenFilter?
Of course I can create a temp db which only contains the records I want but
that does not seem like a very elegant solution.

Regards
Jon

I would do it that way. Extract the values using a SQL SELECT or a QBE with
the column checked.
