cascade selecting

Question

I am using SharePoint 2003. I have a List library, Name is “Staff”

 

FirstName           LasntName         ID Number

John                      Peter                     01001

Mark                     Vuagas                 01002

Samantha            Peris                      01003

 

And I want to make New List Library for “Personal information”.   (Ex FirstName, LastName, ID, City, Tel, Age)

  In that List Library, I have crated as looked up columns from “Staff”( ID, FistName, LastName). My question is, How can do cascade? I want to make, when I select ID, “FisrtName” & “LastName” to be filled by automatically. Rest of the thing (City, Tel, Age) I can type manually.

 

Best Regards

Answer 1

Cascading dropdown menus are not available out-of-the-box.  You would either have to create a custom solution or look at third party vendors' products.  You could also look on Codeplex.com and see if someone has created a free solution.  But be advised, the solutions on codeplex are to be used at your own risk.

Hi Lasanthajn,

Chris is right, you can't do that out-of-the-box. Have a look at "SharePoint Cascading Drop Down List (With Filter) Field Type" on Codeplex. The URL is : http://cascddlistwithfilter.codeplex.com/ . You will find more explanation in the blog : http://sharepointsircar.blogspot.com/2009/02/cascading-dropdownlist-custom-field.html

Hope that help,
Mario
