Very easy. Make your dropdown a Retriever in customization mode and choose the user adapter (or userfile). It’ll drop the userID into the bound UDShortChar field of your liking. Just don’t put this in a CharacterXX UD field. Character fields are not joinable in Crystal Reports. So if you ever needed to generate a report on this data you’re accumulating, the above mentioned retriever only puts the UserID in the field. Not the full name. So when it comes time to write your BAQ and subsequently Crystal, Crystal won’t link a CharacterXX field with the UserFile table’s UserID. Character fields are memo type (same applies to SQL) and CR doesn’t permit joining that field. Remember that for ANY retriever in the system... always put in a ShorCharXX field (or NumberXX, where applicable).
