    Dropdown filter won´t show content in Form

    Dear all,



    i´m using a form to display different records.
    Since the table was moved to an SQL-server, the filters now won´t fetch any content.
    Before it woudl show a list of all items and one could select which to display. Now it is empty (see below)

    You cannot use multi value fields in sql server.
    One several pitfalls and reason why seasoned developers will not use them. You should have created your tables using standard normalization practices.
