Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to ask you for help with dropdown list. I use LiveCycle Designer 8 and datadase Ms Access.

DataConnection from dropdown list to the database is Ok,
the problem is when the database is changed (added item or deleted item), after that the dropdown list shows only the old value wthout modifications which were made in database.

I suppose I need to use refresh button with a refresh skript. Would it be possible to help me with this?
Thank yo for you help and attention. I look forvard to your reply.

LiveCycle Designer, Windows

The code for opening the DB and setting up the Data DropDown is in the "Initialize" event. So all you have to do is re-initialize the DropDown.

Place code similar to this in your refresh button:

MyDataDropDownList.execInitialize();

where "MyDataDropDownList" is the name of the drop down element.
