[Solved] ordered sub-list: How can this be done?

[daniel coppee]

I have a (master) table of publications. As a second (slave) table I have a list of authors.
Now, besides registering the names of the authors, I also need to register them in order (first author, second, third,...). There can be only one "first" etc and the number of authors is unknown.

How can I accomplisch this? What tool/control/trick allow me to order this unknown number of authors per publication (and ideal...allow the user to re-arrange this order)

Any ideas are welcome

Hi Shinu,

thanks for the reply but I do not see how this is related to my question.

Perhaps a good example of my problem is drive letter assignment.

For every computer you have several drives and only one of them can be drive A or C or D ....
So you have a main table "computer" and a (sub) table drives. You need to assign the partitions to the drive-letters on a per computer bases.
How can you prevent users from assigning Drive A twice per computer? (In my example translate this to: there can be only one first author, one second author,... per publication). Can this only be done through programming or is there a "telerik tool/gizzmo" to accomplisch this? 


Regards

Daniel
