How to link Drop Down Lists?

Report · Jun 20, 2008

Hi All,

Is it possible to filter the contents of the possible values in a drop down list with reference to a value selected in another drop down list?

Basically what I want to do is introduce an element of dynamic control over what appears in the drop down lists so that if the user selects value '1' (in drop down list 1) they will be presented with possible values 'a' , 'b' & 'c' in drop down list 2 whilst if they choose '2' (in drop down list 1 ... are you still with me?) they would see 'd', 'e' & 'f' in drop down list 2. Is this possible? ... how do you do it?... is there a tutorial anywhere ?... so many questions.

All the best.
Patrick.
