Populate List/Menu in Update Record form

Any suggestions?

OK,
Got the list to populate dynamically, although I have an issue with my "update record" page. For some reason, any dynamic list/menu that I add, the record ID shows up as one of the options (at the bottom of the list).

That's got nothing to do with selecting the correct value in the first
place. There's something wrong with the way you have set up the Update
Record server behavior.

Whoops - spoke too soon,
My update form displays correct drop down value, but when I submit the update it inserts a blank value into my field

Brilliant,
Thanks for the quick reply
Works like a dream

Select the menu object in the form. Then click the Dynamic button in the
Property Inspector. In the dialog box that opens, click the lightning
bolt next to Select value equal to. Finally, choose the data field from
the correct recordset.
