Hi,

A TEXT\_FIELD or TYPE\_AHEAD that has a value list attached do not accept other values then the ones in the value list, although in the SmartClient they do! The database field that is bound with the control field is of type TEXT.

Is there any way so they can accept other text values then those form the value list also in the WebClient?

Thanks,  
Bogdan.
