I have a database with a column of datatype EM (multiple selection, say apples, oranges, grapes)
I want to have a form with checkboxes for those values (apples, oranges, grapes etc) so one can select a breakfast basket type that contains for example, oranges and grapes.
It would pull from the database those baskets with those selection of fruits (specified in the column ‘Fruits’, which is a EM datatype column. (I have a multiple selection when entering the values for the column.)
Can it be done? Should I make another table with FruitNames?
I have multiple values in the column. When entering a new row, I can choose multiple values for the column FruitsinBasket.
Also, when I add a new fruit value to that column (so it can be selected from the dropdown list of multiple selection), all my other entries values disappear and I have to re-enter everything again.
