I remember a method in which I used a property in the property pallete to specify the query in which i wanted the list linked with, it gave me the option to input a static list or as mentioned a dynamic list which was dependent on a query entry, but I cant for the life of me remember where this property was.
Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

populate_list or add_list_elememt, but I'd be careful with a dynamically changing list - that can cause problems:
You can't remove an element that's in use.
You can't query a record where the current value doesn't match anything the list recognizes.
If you want dyanmic you're probably better off using an LOV.

Dear,
Also try this.
DECLARE
CURSOR C_COMPANY IS
SELECT Latin_desc DN FROM GL_COMPANY ORDER BY GL_COMPANY_ID;
BEGIN
CLEAR_LIST('GL_DIVISION.CMP');
FOR REC IN C_COMPANY LOOP
add_list_element('GL_DIVISION.CMP',1,REC.DN,REC.DN);
END LOOP;
END;
END;
But also be careful that what Mr.cookiemonster said.
Regards,
Irfan
