Hi everyone,

Is it possible to call or place list items on forms during runtime?I mean,the list item is not place on the form at design time but it will be placed on the form at runtime and the number of the list item placed is also based on the number entered by the user at runtime.If it's possible to do so,pls show/guide me on doing it ok.

Thanks a lot.

Create all the items you need and place them on the canvas, but make then 'visible' is 'no'. Then when you want to use one, assign it the various attributes necessary and then make it visible.

Then I suggest that you use an LOV based on a record_group into which you have defined the two columns. You can return either or both of these columns. You can if your structure requires it, have a third or fourth 'zero width' coumn and return it to a hidden database field instead.
