Hi!

I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial or give me some
advice to do the following:

I created a "Document Change Request Form" for my department, amongst a bunch of fields, the submitter of the form must tell us which document and version they want changed.

OK...here goes:

First dropdown will have Titles of Documents

The second dropdown will have Version Numbers

I want the first dropdown (Titles) to control which version numbers are
displayed.

I was wondering if I would have to make a seperate table in Access to hold
the version numbers for each document. So each title would have it's own
version table?

Help?

Thanks!

Mitch

When in doubt...reboot!

Similar things can be found for free but they require hand coding.

I personally have not used this, but Macromedia has and extention in its library that will allow the second pick list/menu objects to be determined by a prior pick list/menu. The name of the extention is List/Menu ReWrite Extention. It is in the Catagory of Navigation. It is written for DW Ver 4.0
