I have a form for entering/editing employee information. There is a
drop-down list for Foreman. It displays the name, but i want it to
enter the foreman's employee ID on submit.

Thanks

Hi,

I have one question for you, You want show the two values in a drop
down(i.e, Foreman and employee ID), is it correct?

What I am doing is this:
I have a view which concatenates fname lname as Foreman and includes
the emp ID.
In the form i display the Foreman name only in a drop-down list for
the user to select. However, I need the Foreman's emp ID to be
submitted not the name.

I hope that is clearer

I also have Visual Studio 2005, and some novice skill using it with VB
and C# if that helps anyone looking to help me.

I figured it out. For Entries I selected the top level and then was
able to choose the value and display I wanted. I also set up rules
when submitted to make it all work.
