Solution 1

Hi,

I think you are fetching more than one column which is actually not required. Dropdown box will populate with only one column ie b.eid fetch that column only.

use the below query, this may helps you

select distinct B.eid from gen_complaints as A inner JOIN equipment as B where A.eid=B.eid

Thanks

Solution 2

change ur query as

select distinct B.eid, A.*, B.ename from gen_complaints as A inner JOIN equipment as B where A.eid=B.eid

because the Eid is unique i think so
you will get the solution
nothing is impossible
