My form has lookup column which gets data from another list but I want to remove/hide particular item in the lookup column.
For example; My look up columns gets A;B;C;D;E entries from another list now I don't want to show E in my lookup column .
I can accomplish this if I customize the form in InfoPath but my list(which has lookp column) must be used as "Data sheet view" and InfoPath customization don't work on data sheet view.
Tried using JQuery but didn't work.
Any suggestions ?
Obviously you should never be using jQuery for security related practices. What if a user has javascript turned off?
This question seems to cry out of item level permissions. That said, item level permissions is generally considered a last resort at best type of practice, so I would suggest you first consider whether or not item E could be moved into a different list entirely, which is only viewable by certain parties.

I have a database where I don't want some fields showing depending on data in other fields. I'm still new to VBA, having learnt how to do things I need via the internet (there's not much call for it in my job so like to try it out on side projects) for the things I need and have managed to create some code that hides certain fields that aren't needed, depending on what's been entered in another field and that works okay, if not perfectly (I'd like it to only work on the current record and not all of them at once but will worry about that later). My problem is, if I'm entering information onto a record and any of those fields become invisible exactly as I would want them to, then if I have more records to complete and load a new record, those hidden fields are also hidden on the blank record before any data has been entered and I want each new record to show all fields from the outset.
Another thing I've noticed is that if I close the database, next time I go into it the hidden fields have unhidden themselves again so I know I'm missing something important.
Here's a screenshot of a bit of the code where I want 2 other fields (What_reason and Date_sent_to_new_owning_School) to be visible depending on whether the answer in the current field after update is "Standard" or "Non-standard":
I'm sorry if this is really entry-level stuff but I AM entry level and trying to learn. This bit does work, albeit not perfectly as I'd like it to only work on the record I'm in at the time, and not go through and hide that field in all the other records at once (which it's doing).
I've searched everywhere but can't find the answer and although I've tried, I'm nowhere near good enough at VBA to try and use common sense to work it out. Is this something that can be done? I'm okay with computers generally and with Access too but I'm aware there's an awful lot I don't know and this is why I'm trying to do new things and learn stuff that I've not used before. I have tried all day to get this to work but am admitting defeat and am hoping somebody here will be able to help me. I'll probably need 'idiot level' advice if that's possible, I know my limitations. :)
Do you know how to use the Event tab in the Property Sheet? You can set all of your fields to [field].Visible = True on either: On Current, On Load, or On Open
Screenshot of the Property Sheet and for the field that determines the visibility of all of the other fields; you can use the Event: After Update so that way when you click/tab away from that field, it'll make those changes for you!
Property setting affects ALL instances of control. Control will be visible/not visible for all records depending on conditions of current record. Therefore, dynamically hiding controls on form set in Continuous or Datasheet will NOT give the desired result of
only work on the current record and not all of them at once
Db is not going to 'remember' dynamic setting - code needs to be executed when form opens and/or navigating records - so it is needed in OnCurrent event as well as control's AfterUpdate.
Conditional Formatting can dynamically enable/disable textbox/combobox by record although control is still visible.
Notes 9.01
Why does a new document on the web change unique IDs every time you refresh it?!? this causes all kinds of issues. Obviously it is a different document, so maybe I should re-phrase that, but I think you know what I am saying.
I have a listbox field, with the setting to "refresh fields on keyword change" selected. This allows hide-whens to recalc, and other fields to recalc. I also have a computed text showing the current #DocumentUniqueID.
choices are: "Select one":"one":"two":"three"
When using this form on the web, in a new document, and I pick something in this field from the drop-down, it refreshes the form, and the choice I just picked is removed and "Select one" is what is showing again.
Once the document is saved, this stabilizes and you do not switch documents, and field values do not get cleared. I just want to understand the logic of this and find out how other people work around this.
Any feedback would be great. If I am doing something stupid, please tell me, I can take it.

I don't know what the "all kinds of issues" that you're dealing with are, but for as far back as I can remember, Notes documents have not had a stable #DocumentUniqueID value (or any at all, actually) prior to being saved for the first time. It's been my practice, and I think pretty widely accepted practice, not to write code that would have issues with that. If it's been necessary to depend on some unique value in the document prior to the first save, I've always used a computed-when-composed field with #Unique for its value.
My suggestion would be to not use "refresh fields on keyword change" for a form used on the web. The way I would handle it is to use some JavaScript to handle that.
Personally I would do this, in your situation:
Add jQuery to the form, you can easily put a CDN link in the page
header.
Write a JavaScript function called (for example)brecalculateFields(). This function would calculate field valuesband perform hide/show of fields/sections of the form.
Set a class for all fields where you want to trigger a recalc of the fields when the value is changed. I would call the class recalcForm.
Bind the function recalculateFields() to the changed event of all fields with the class recalcForm.
You may want to bind the function to a few other events as well, depending on what type of fields you have on the form.
$(".recalcForm").on("change", function(e) {
recalculateFields();
});
$(".recalcForm").on("blur", function(e) {
recalculateFields();
});
I have blogged about this in the past, hopefully you can use some of the info there:

I'm creating a view for Contact entity and the issue is that some of their sellers have entered information on Mobile Phone field, while others used Business Phone field.
They'll probably continues to do so. There's no point copying the values as they're entered and both fields are needed.
The simplest solution is to display two columns in the view. However, that occupies the precious width on the form.
I wonder if it's possible to display a column in a view so that it gets its information from field Ahaa and if that happens to be empty, it falls back to displaying the field Buhu. Is it possible and if so - how?
There's no supported way to add conditional logic to a view definition such that it would show or hide columns. The usual way to do this is to store the value of whichever field is populated in third field. Populate this in a plugin and show this only in the view.
I'm trying to create a filter so the user can choose any of 40+ fields to display in a query result that has been dynamically created via VBA.
This is something I see standard in a lot of programs so I figure someone must have code that does it without me reinventing the wheel. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find it online.
Basically when it starts all the field names are listed in the left box and the right box is empty. The user can click a right arrow button to move the fields into the right box or a left arrow to remove them and put them back in the left box. Also the user can use up and down arrow buttons to change the order of a selected field in the right listbox.
Once I have the right listbox populated and ordered correctly I know how to execute the query properly.
If you are unable to find a full example for this then you'll need to work through it step-by-step yourself. Here is an MSDN link for the ListBox control. There are links to the various methods and properties of this control at the bottom of the page.
Essentially, clicking a button (your arrow(s)) triggers the Click event;
In this event you might need to loop through to find the Selected item;
If the listbox is multi-select then you can examine the ItemsSelected collection;
Then you would use the AddItem and RemoveItem methods to move them for right-to-left or left-to-right.
I cannot recall currently whether the Field List option is bound to the table, or whether it just populates the list once when the form is loaded. If it is bound then you would instead need to use the Value List option and use VBA to retrieve all the field-names, and use these to set the RowSource (you may be doing this already).
In either event (Field or Value List) I don't believe the lists can remain sorted automatically (unlike in VB.NET). You will probably need to split the RowSource up into a (dynamic) array, find a simple sort routine to sort the array, and reassign the sorted items as the RowSource.
An alternative would be to create two temporary tables and use ADO (or DAO) to insert and delete rows between them, then use SELECT statements each time to re-populate the lists. This has the advantage that the SELECT can include an ORDER BY clause to sort the lists each time. However, It perhaps involves a little bit more effort (to maintain, and delete, the temporary tables).
You might, however, want to continue your search as I suspect an example is out there somewhere. Good luck.
How many times have we seen this type of selector:
List Box Selector http://geekswithblogs.net/images/geekswithblogs_net/dotNETvinz/MoveItemsListBox.jpg
I was just about to start creating this in a WinForms app, when I thought that others may have some ideas for doing this better. We need it to sort - so the right hand list will need up/down buttons. But this seems so old school. I love devexpress components, and was thinking of asking them if they would consider adding a component that handles this functionality with a slick UI.
I am thinking that a graphical representation of the objects, and a graphical representation of the listboxes - that would be a more intuitive way to move items around.
Has anyone seen an open source project like this?
If a CheckListBox won't suffice (and it usually will), then the "modern" approach would be to use a ListView or similar component with a "Transfer" column. Render the button inline in that column, one for each row, so that it only takes one click to move an item from one to the other.
You see this everywhere in Vista, usually with hyperlinks as opposed to buttons. Instead of clicking on an item and then choosing an action, you click the action at the item level.
I wouldn't go overboard with slickness as it can impair functionality, but the dual-listbox screen is definitely old-school.
Also, if there's a very large amount of data to manage, it helps to provide a progressive search at the bottom of one or both lists.
I have done this type of selection using (essentially) a single CheckListBox that displays each item as an image. Part of the image looks like a LED, which is on (bright) if the item is selected or off (dark) if it is not selected.
This works well if you have a reasonable amount of data to select from, and also works well in a multi-column format if you can predict that the options will have reasonably similar lengths.
Allow users to drag items in/out of list 2, and also drag to reorder in list2.
(All items dragged out of list2, and dropped anywhere outside the list, get put back into list 1, in their correct place in the list by alphabetical or natural order.)
You can merge the two list boxes into one with the help of groups (LVGF_GROUPID flag): one group for selected and one for not selected.
You can also implement group membership changes with drag-drop between them. This way single drag-drop can move an item into the other group at the appropriate position, saving most/all of the other buttons.
Additionaly the bottom of each group can have one pseudo item with help text (i.e. "Drag items here to...") that is visible only when relevant.
