Hi guys,

I would like to know if anybody could give me any clue about "feeding a listbox dinamically". What I mean is:

I have a combobox or listbox which depends on a database table, but usually the options listed or saved in the table are not enough and have to be added by the user. How could I do that through a pop-up window?.
Does anybody could give a link where I can see an example?.

Any clue will be very appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Alvaro.

Something like this?

Photo Upload

Title:
Photo:
Album:

Where Album is a List box.

I put 2 grids on the same page with the NewAlbum grid first and a message
asking users not to create unneccessary albums. The Return page on teh Album
grid is the same page, as the List Box is populated when the page loads.
