Description: Rate and Review Comment: A little more description on how the display name works with the dropdown box would be nice. I'm a beginning java programmer and I wanted to try to add the ability for the static text to display the last name also. I'm still working on figuring that one out. Description (Entry 2): Subsequent correspondence: Thank you for your reply. using static text areas to display information from a data source or from input data. I wanted to be able to have the static text also display the last name, instead of just the first name. After further research in how to do it I found that the first and last name are stored on different cells of the data source. I was wondering how to have the static text area that displayed the first name of the person appearing in the lname/fname dropdown would also have information on how to have that static text show both names. Evaluation: I recommend adding this info under the Doing More section. It involves an sql statement with an alias that concats 2 columns
