How many values is the DbColumn returning?  I'm pretty sure that if multiple values are returned than an array is given back.  But if only one value is returned then the data type is a string.

Could that be the problem? 

thank you for looking at this.  It was nice meeting you in person at IBMConnect :o) 

Nope - I don't think that's it - if I replace the @DbLookup with a @DbColumn then the code works as is... really odd?

 Hi!  

 

Nice to "see" you here!  :)
 

Hmmm.. Not sure I know the issue without getting a hold of a working example.  So let me give you a couple thoughts...

Rather then doing the blank array thing where you merge the 2 arrays...  have you tried getting your blank in via a manual entry to the list?  Using @Text("") or something like that?  Just wondering if that would work. 

The other alternative might be to instead of doing an @DbLookup and putting your code in the combobox itself...  I'd sooner create a SSJS function that gets the data.  The key though is that the function needs to return a vector I believe. I forget if there's a NotesIn9 on this but there's a blog post that might be helpful.  http://www.teamspace.ca/TeamSpace/Blog.nsf/dx/populate-xpage-combobox-choices-from-notes-multi-value-field.htm

Again - what you're doing should work I think - or at least I don't know what's wrong with it but maybe you can get back to forward progress with either of those suggestions.

if you would like me to send you a working example, no problem. Just drop me a line at ursus dot schneider at gmail dot com. 

Manual entry: Yes, I have tried that but I could not get it to work. 

Link: I checked the link and will give that a try this evening

Thank you for your help
