Back in January, I posted about the SalesLogix picklist data structure, and outlined how to use the data found in the picklist table to populate other controls such as comboboxes and listboxes.

In order to do this, I had to modify the OnCompletedActivity active script. I wanted to briefly wanted to outline the modifications I made to this area, just for anyone who i...
