I agree with the comments from SLikTool.. We have made use of this way to perform dblookup and it works absolutely fine for me.

Thank you both ever so much for the replies….

Any chance you could show a sample Script code including both the @Picklist and @Explode commands in conjunction with the filed assignments? I’m struggling with piecing it together as a cohesive

I really appreciate the assistance, and for helping pointing me in the right direction.

Agreed. I usually put a hidden column in the view that I use for lookups. The formula for that column is the data I want separated by “~”. For example, an entry might look like:
John Doe~5551212~45

Use @Picklist to present the view and get the data in the hidden column. Then, use @Explode to separate the data back out into an array, and assign the elements to the appropriate field values, like:
FIELD Name := lookup[1]
FIELD Phone:= lookup[2]
etc.
