relatively new at this. Have been searching around and also watched some videos online, but cannot locate.

I have a drop down box with Supplier names called (ie. IBM, HP, etc). How do I take the value that is next to the text in the bindings tab and populate another field on the form

i.e

Object>Binding

Name: supplier

Binding: None

Specify Item Values

Value Text
1 IBM
2 HP
3 Dell

The user will select IBM, HP, etc

I want the corresponding value (ie 1 for IBM, 2 for HP, etc) to populate another field on form called.

prodr_supp_cd

Binding: None

Using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2

Thank you for any insight.

You should be able to use the "formattedValue" from the drop down box to obtain the text, the "rwaValue" will be the index of the item selected. See [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=2888]index of the selected item in drop down list[/url]
