Can someone please advise me on how to make dropdown filters appear when using a View? They show up when using a base table, but not when I use a View. For example, these are my tables:
1) AppType: AppTypeID [PK], AppTypeDesc
2) MainApp: AppID [PK], AppName, AppTypeID [FK] - if display this table, then dropdown by AppTypeDesc shows up - so far so good.
Now create View:
ViewAppPlusAppType: AppID, AppName, AppTypeDesc - no dropdowns appear - how to fix this?
If you have trouble configuring the Relationships with the view e-mail me on steve AT NotAClue.net and I can help I also have some custom filters I use just for views.

Hi sjnaughton,
I added an Association & Referential Constraint between the View and (Lookup) Table and the dropdown shows up now! :) Thanks much.
BTW, how can this be done with a Custom Filter? Do you have any sample code you could post here? Thanks again.
