I searched a lot on the web for my answer but could not find any one. I have an list with invoice and aircraft price list. The lookup works perfect i can select the aircraft type through the invoice list. I also want to be able to select if its a Platform or Hangar price. Can someone help me how i can achieve this?
Here are some screenshots
It looks like you are attempting some form of cascading drop down fields. These are supported in 2010 Enterprise edition but via the use of info path forms. This requires no code just some GUI based configuration. Unfortunately it's a little more in depth than me explaining it on here so I will provide you to a link for a blog.
Cascading drop down info path forms
Alternatively if you google around cascading drop downs there are plenty of articles involving other methods.

I want to create a Look up column to bring the data of a column "Person/Group" in other library but I can´t.
I found some solutions to this inconvenient, for example:
https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/56745/is-it-possible-to-make-a-lookup-column-that-looks-up-person-or-group-type-from
But, I can't use them because the politics of the company I'm working, forbade me to code in Sharepoint or even use Sharepoint Designer.
So... is there a workaround this problem, maybe working with InfoPath or something?
Thanks in advance
Why not use the list settings graphical user interface of SharePoint?
Have a look at
Sharepoint: Calculated column based on another list
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShLH0mBcA54
== Update after some discussions ==
Lookup columns can only be linked to other lists and the only built-in list that contains any users is the hidden User Information List. This list you can link to, to do it any other way you must create your own list with users
I would like to know if it's possible and how to do something like this in SharePoint 2010:
I want to add to a document library some custom columns; 2 of them will be of type choice.
I want one of them to be populated after the first has been selected and it will be populated based on the valued chosen by the user in the first drop down list.
Is that possible? How?
Thanks a lot, bye!
you are talking about a master-detail field. There are lots of ways to solve those problem and they all involve creating a custom field. Here's a write up of my offered approach, with links to various alternatives.

I am retrieving a list of values from a sharepoint list, which works well but my problem is that it only retrieves the first 100 records. there are currently 500 records that should be available.
Scenario: I have two comboboxes on an infopath form:
A List of Locations
A list of areas within the locations
the list of locations will filter the list of areas but as infopath seems to only retrieve the first 100 records so most of the locations do not show any areas as there is nothing to filter.
By design, the query will only return the first page of results from the default view for the list. Change the item limit for the default view in SharePoint, and you'll change the returned values for InfoPath.
EDIT (links from my comments, here for greater readability):
Here are sources describing this fix in MSDN forum (scroll to the bottom), a blog comment that describes the SharePoint setting step-by-step, one with a screen cap of the somewhat counter-intuitive interface, and another describing performance implications on the server side.
Hope this helps.
Just documenting what I have discovered trying to resolve the problem. I have not been able to change the default view as yet as I dont have the permission to. That should change though.
One possible workaround I have found is that you can export the list to Excel which contains all the data that I was looking for. the file that sharepoint produces is an Excel Query file like "export.iqy". You can save and open the file in notepad. which will look something like the following

http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
Selection={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}-{8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
EditWebPage=
Formatting=None
PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
SingleBlockTextImport=False

DisableRedirections=False
SharePointApplication=http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin
SharePointListView={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
SharePointListName={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}
RootFolder=/Lists/My list
You can take the third line which is -
http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
And use that to retrieve the complete list. I added an new receive data connection, selected an xml document and added the above URL.
It is not formated particullary nice but it will return all the data that I was expecting.
I think that Argalatyr solution is much simpler at this point, but it depends on if i am able to get the default view changed.
there is yet one workaround of this without such hardcoding. If you open Query editor, then you have there available ribbon with menu items. Open "Home" -> "Select top rows" and enter there some realy high number (I have in my list 596 rows, so I entered there as limit of top rows 20000 and I got whole list).
Sorry, I don't have available English version of Excel, so I cannot add screenshots.

I would like to set the column level permission on list in Sharepoint 2007. I would appreciate help.
Example:
I would like to employee to fill other information in the form but not allow them to change the salary. Only admin can change certain fields.
You cannot do that.
SharePoint does not support column level security.
You would need to extend SharePoint to achieve this...
Take a look here.

Correct, there are no Column level premissions for SharePoint. However, a nice an easy workaround that I use all the time for this scenario is to create Custom List Forms and use the "display" option for the column to do not want users to edit. You then create an Edit form where the fields are editable for those that are authorized to edit the entry. Hope this helps.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I don't believe you have the ability to control permissions on individual columns in SharePoint 2007. At least I haven't heard of it. I browsed through list definitions and permissions but I didn't spot anything.
Another 3rd party tool is Sharepoint Column Protector by Datapolis. More details on the tool is discussed here (How to apply item level permission for sharepoint columns).
This is a common request for many SharePoint users, but MS does not provide. You can try 3rd party tools, such as BoostSolutions Column/View Permission and …
can someone point me in the direction as to how I would do the following:
I want to create a list, which pulls say (top 3) items from other lists (more than one), and displays them in one consolidated list. Is this possible? If so please point me in the direction as to how I can accomplish this, thanks.
Oliver,
As long as all of your lists are in the same site collection, the Content Query Web Part should do what you want (cite). You'll need some expertise in XSLT to keep the top three list items displayed (example). There's a lot that the CQWP doesn't do that would seem common sense, and this is one of them.
If you have MOSS then what you need is the Content Query Web Part.
Ray, I'm not sure how lookup fields will handle his two chief requirements: limiting return sets (top three items) or consolidating multiple lists into one data source. Lookup columns accept one list as a data source, and I'm not sure how you'd get it to accept many lists aside from custom code development.
Without using custom code, you are going to have to use several dataquery or content query webparts and modify their xslt to show as one integrated display.
Personally I would create a custom control, hosted by a webpart that runs several CAML queries and displays the top results of each query.
