I've searched the archive but can't seem to find the answer to my query.

  I have created 2 NSArrays, priceLevels and priceLevelsExt

  priceLevels contains the price levels as I want them searched in my 
database
  such as:
  RES
  EDU

  PriceLevelsExt contains the price levels as I want the user to see 
them such
  as:
  Retail
  Education

  I would like to be able to do a search using
  productDetailDisplayGroup.queryMatch.priceLevel


  Example - User puts the following into the form:
      Product Description - iPod (text field using queryMatch.descr)

      Price Level - Education (pop up button using queryMatch.priceLevel
  matched to EDU)

      Result: All products with "iPod" in the productDetail.descr and 
"EDU" in
  the productDetail.priceLevel


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The way I would do this is to set up an entity in my model called 
"PriceType" or something.

PriceType would contain an ID plus two fields, "longName" and 
"shortName".

In you component have a pricTypeDisplayGroup and an itemForPriceType.

Your WOPopUpButton should have the following keys filled in:

displayString = itemForPriceType.shortName
item = itemForPriceType
list = pricTypeDisplayGroup.displayedObjects
noSelectionString = "-Please Select-"
selection = productDetailDisplayGroup.queryMatch.priceType

That's it.

Cheers then,

Larry.
