A List bound to items of another list
-
Hi all, I'm new to Sharepoint and I have a problem. I have a list Offer. Items of that list must be bound to one or more items of another list (products). What the customer wants is that in the new/edit form of the Offer list you can go to a page with a list of the available products, selecting/deselecting the entries and then saving. I have no idea about what SP offer to do that. I thought to build a user control to do that manually, but I suppose that there must be something ready in SP, and doing it by hand would not be easy I suppose. I want something like the behaviour of the lookup field, but such that I can add other informations (such as the quantity) to the association, and possibily see other fields of the chosen items. Any idea? Thank you!

It sounds like you want to connect information from one list to a list or some other field. In sharepoint you can make one webpart connect to another webpart via a connection. If you look up webpart connections you'll get tutorials on the stuff. It's really not that hard, you just have to set up an interface and a couple of methods on either end to pass information back and forth. Another way might be to use the built in content types and lists, but connecting it to a list of the products and I'm not sure how you'd do that.
