Best way to handle lookup
Hi, I'm new to VFP (3.0b) and am hoping you will be able to help me with some ideas on the best way (user-interface wise) to lookup an indivual in a database. I have a database of 12,000 Alumni, and users need to lookup Alumni from the database useing one of several search criteria (lname, grad date, City, ID#, Company, etc). The initial search could produce multiple individuals (ex. lname="Brown" could produce 40+ Alumni) from which I would like the user to be able to select one. I would then display full Alumni information for the selected Alumni.
My thought was to have a listbox holding the initial search criteria (lname, grad date, City, ID#, Company, etc.) and a textbox for the user to enter (for instance) the last name. When the user clicks on a FIND button, I would search the database, fill an array with the results, and bring up another listbox based on the array. The user would make his/her final selection here.
Does this seem like the 'right' way to do it? Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance,
Dave DeHaan
