    I've created a few screenshots to better explain the issue, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

    The preview picture in the data entry form doesn't currently work for data sources that are calculated by VB script.  In a future release we hope to handle such scripted data sources for the preview picture. Sorry!

    Hi Ian,

     

    Thank you for the feedback. I've just done a test by manually entering two values from the XLS file into the dropdown menu (so no VB script needed). But, when I change the selection on this dropdown menu on the data entry form, the preview picture still does not update correctly (exact same issue as previously mentioned). Do you have any documentation on how to implement this the correct way in Bartender?

     

    Thank you!

    This seems to work for me without a problem.  What version/build of BarTender are you using?

     

    I did nothing special.  Either follow the training video here or refer to the BarTender Help system.

    Hi Ian,

     

    I'm new to Bartender, so thank you for the information. I've previously watched the training video provided, but maybe I need to explain better what I'm trying to accomplish:

     

    The purpose of the dropdown field on my data entry form is to filter/select the specific record in the database. So for example, if I select option A from the dropdown menu, the template fields should display the field values corresponding to option A selected from the database (XLS file). 

     

    In the training video link provided, the data entry fields seem to just be used for adding additional data to the label, and not for actually filtering/selecting a specific record and displaying this record's data on the label.

     

    Is it possible to use the data entry form to filter/select a specific record from the database with a dropdown menu, or what is the best way to accomplish this?

     

    Thank you!

     

    Update: In your thumbnail provided, if I select Green from the dropdown menu, the record in the data source associated with Green should be selected and the corresponding data should be printed (additional text fields etc).

    You need to be using a query prompt for the database query rather than a standard data entry form control.  Unfortunately we only support a standard text input box for query prompts currently.  We do plan on revamping our database functionality in BarTender for future versions, but it is as it is for the moment.  The below training videos indicate what is currently possible in terms of database connectivity and record selection.

    Perfect that's what I needed to know, thanks!
