hello all
i have a field in DB which is used for putting some text.Eg:admin,client,driver,fifi.
and in a form application i have a combobox with same text(with index 0 to 3),so i plan to read from DB and then set the "index of combobox" with that text.for example one record is "FIFI",and related index of combobox in form application is first index(0 index),so when FIFI will read from DB,combobox will set with first value.
how can i do that?
thanks all
