Update a Drop Down List from a SQL Query

Hi guys,
I am using a Drop Down tool in my app. I would like to dynamically update the option list as the output of a SQL Query. For example, if my query produces a list of customer, I want the app allows to choose among all customers in that list.

How can I do it?

 

Thank you,

Giorgio

This post shows how to chain/link applications so that the first app reads the database and prepares the listbox to include relevant options in the second application.

Thanks,

Actually we found the solution by selecting External Source in the drop down menu

And then typing the SQL query in "Properties" field
