how to carry over a REQUEST.FORM to a DRW drop down field

B

Bill

I have a DRW that I need to prepopulate with the result of the previous page
DRW. I have a review page that does a METHOD.POST to the UPDATE/CHANGE
form. All of the fields are REQUEST.FORM fields so the user can see what
the old value is in order to change it if necessary.

The problem is I don't know how to do a REQUEST.FORM on the update/change
form on a field that is a DRW which displays one value and writes another
value to the table.field.

For example the value that is posted from one screen to the next is the PK,
but I need to display the corresponding description of the PK, which is in
another table. So the update/change form dropdown DRW should actually do
two queries, one for the list of available values and the other to do a
translation of the transferred pk to a description received from the
request.form, retrieved from the previous page. Any help would be
appreciated!

Thanks,

Bill
