Ultimatel, I want to populate a lookup window from a table with the dealerid. The source table is a transaction table and has thousands of records.
The field dealerid is not unique in this table.
If I were to do this in sql, I would write the select statement
select distinct dealerid from sourcetable.
However, there is no equivalent in Dexterity.
Essentially I want to fill the lookup window the unique dealerid in my source table.
regards
Hi Mike
I would create a Dexterity Table definition that has the fields and indexes that you want for the final data.
Then in the Form Pre script, you can populate the table. using a SQL Select into statement using SQL_Execute. Use the Table_GetOSName() command to get the physical SQL path for the temp table.
This method works really well and does not need a view.

create view for your sql query.
like below
create view
DealerLookup
as
select distinct CUSTNMBR as dealerid,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY CUSTNMBR ASC) AS DEX_ROW_ID
from SOP10100
GO
P.S : change your table name.
then in dexterity create a table like below.
now attached your table to lookup scroll window and on window pre event just write fill window, it will fill records from the view.

I know the Dexterity manuals have information on lookups and lookup windows, though I imagine you've been through these already?
I know there are members of the Community that do much work with Dexterity that may have more information to suggest.....
Thanks
