combox box and shared variable

[achfire]

i'm controlling data that enter to a table by using a combo box specific,let's call it "NR ORDRE", when a client has the num 5 and enters his data ;it will be stocked in the 5th row.i want this number 5 to be removed from the list ,so when a new user try to enter num 5 he gets a message"number already used" or he doesn't find number 5 in th combo box ,so he have to enter a different number than 5,for instance 8,consequently i'll get all his data in the 8th row.

 i'll need something to remove a number from a combo box when it's already used by a client >> unique number for each client

 

if anyone know a little trick to solve this problem

thanks

Can you use the strings[] property of the combo box to change the list to reflect the items still available to select?

i know how to use the strings[] property of the combo box ,but how to use it to check the numbers still not used in the combo box no

 

if you can show me how in the vi posted before

This'll get your list right.

 

 

I rewrote some of your VI to demonstrate how I'd approach your problem:
