RE: Access Document via Dialog List? ~Bill Quetfoochekakol 3.Jan.04 11:12 AM a Web browser Domino Designer All ReleasesAll Platforms
You can use alias values to achieve exactly what you are looking for, i.e. the field value being different from the displayed text.
Construct the choices with the alias values to the right of a vertical bar, example:
Angela Krauskopf|AK47
Morten Hattesen|MH48
It's only the alias value that gets stored in the dialog list field, so when the user selects "Angela Krauskopf" the field contains "AK47", which you can use for your lookup.
But I would personally try solving the problem with a picklist (@functions or LotusScript), if possible. Possibly a single category picklist.
