I like to be able to create for every entry in the database a different "select_fields" Type of input tag.
How can I do that ?
Please help !

Use the %db_select_fields array in the default.cfg file to do this, like the following:
FieldName1 => 'value1,value2,value3,value4,value5',
FieldName2 => 'value1,value2,value3,value4,value5',
FieldName3 => 'value1,value2,value3,value4,value5
);
Replace FieldName1 with the name of the field in your db_def section. Replace the values with the values you want to have people choose from for these fields.
Then in your sub html_record_form routine in the html.pl, you would put the following codes:
<TD VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="300"><$font><b>Check all that apply:</b></FONT><P>
<$font>|; print &build_select_field ("FieldName1", "$rec{'FieldName1'}"); print qq|</FONT></TD></TR>
Replace FieldName1 with the name of the field you want to have a drop-down menu.
You would put these same codes in your sub html_record and/or sub html_record_long routines in the html.pl file.
Hope this helps and Good luck.
