I am using Tracefields for programs, for operators to input 3 bits of information before every program. Work order #, Serial #, and Operator name.
For the Operator Name section, I am wanting to use a drop down menu, with a list of names to select, so that the user will have to select their name instead of having them type it.
What i'm not sure about though, is if I create this list, and use it on every program we use, how can I make this a sort of "universal" list? So as we get new employees and new operators, I can add their name into the list and it will update for all of our programs.
I'm still a bit new to using expressions and VBS, and have not been able to come up with a way to do this.
To the best of my knowledge tracefields passed within a subroutine does not show up in the main program. What you can do is have the form or operator comments in the subroutine and pass the variables later on the main program's tracefields. At least that's what I am doing.
I was able to pull the inputs from my subroutine to the main program, through variables, and then just passed them into new tracefields to use on the report header.
