Differant field type for insert and search

[Jon]

Hi,

Does anyone know a way to have a select single for a field during insert but be able to enter text during the search? The reason is I want to be able to use the "contains" search operator to seach where some of the entries are similar. The select single pulls it's values from another table.

Another way around this that I was thinking was to have a hidden text field during an insert that would copy what the user put in the select single and hide the select single from the search, is this possible? Whould I be able to just use a variable in the default value that would referance the name of the select single field or do I have to write some code to run when the user pushes the insert button?

Thanks

You can't get this behaviour without changing some code.
