• NamePicker is limited to 1000 entries

    By Roy H Rumaner 1 decade ago

     

    I have changed the HTML setting in the server doc to 10K and I am still limited to the first 1000 entries on a name & address lookup as well as a normal dbColumn style lookup. Do you have any other suggestions? My client has over 2800 names in their NAB and over 3000 entries in another database list that they want to pick from. 
    
     
    
    Maybe an option would be to grab the first 1000 entries and show a message on the picker such as aaaa-hhh or whatever the 1000th entry is and then have another button that gets the next 1000 entries (hhi-rrr) and so on. 
    
     
    
    Also appending selections to the resulting field still seems to be an issue when using more than one picker at a time on the same form. I have to provide the users five different ways to pick names and append them all to the same field. Right now I am writing them each to a hidden field and then joining them later but it would be nice to be able to skip that intermediate step. 
    
     
    
    It would be nice to have an option on the picker that allowed you to switch the selection criteria while the picker is open. Maybe a drop down list of selections could be added. 
    
     
    
    If you know of a way to exceed the 1000 limit, I would really like to hear it. As I said we have reset the default setting and it didn't change anything.

      Now, getting more 1000 entries might be a performance killer. Just be sure about you're doing
