Thanks again

Do you mean that you will have three lists, if you pick 'Ford' form list one then the contents of list two would be specific to 'Ford' ie 'sierra', 'two tone brown escort MKI', 'KA', but had you selected 'BMW' from list one then list two would contain '318i', '525', 'M3' etc (and so on for the third list box) ??

If this is the case then some thought is necessary as the listbox contents are created at runtime (as page loads) <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

You want to change these content as a selection is made from a previous field.

You could (and i stress could) make the page refresh after a field is updated using javascript and by firing a few variables about create the list box contents to suit.

Hope this helps you out.

If am understanding correctly, I think this free UD Extension from <b>Kaosweaver's</b> website should do the trick...

Hope that helps...

Yes that's a pretty cool extension, but it is restricted to a STATIC parent list and a dynamic child list. The result is one table with set car models, Ford - VW - Mercedes - Renault - Ferrari, and a child list that if i select the pre-entered Ford option it displays the related Dbase items.

What we want is 3 lists and all 3 have the settings in the Dbase, so if he adds for instance Porsche to the models table then the page would automatically generate a new list item for it, with this extension you cannot do that. It has to be done in the code. But it's still a great extension if you are in need for what it can do.

It does say this in it's faq, so if you want to give it a try...

Question: Why does the function have a fn argument that isn't used?
Answer: This is a way to have the script cascade down to a third drop down, however, the interface for entering this information was cumbersome, so I didn't write it, however, you can go to the scripts section to see an example of this and download the file to model your application of the script with. This can also be used to call any other function you want to call as well.

Thank you all for the help. connman21 I did
know about that extension but that one does
not work with db "I think" and I'm trying
to do this as dynamic as posible. On the
other hand djvgalen that tutorial is awesome
but Im little stuk with It. I'll let you know how it turns out.
If(NewExtension) = "Good"
else KeepTrying
Thank You All Very Again.<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hello again.
I'm working on this tutorial and when I try

Thanks

If (len(oDynaListRS.Fields.Item(txtDynaListLabel).Value) &gt; len(varMaxWidth)) Then
varMaxWidth = oDynaListRS.Fields.Item(txtDynaListLabel).Value
End If
varCheckLength = varCheckLength + 1
varDynaList = varDynaList + 3
oDynaListRS.MoveNext()
Wend

If (varCheckLength &gt; varMaxLength) Then
varMaxLength = varCheckLength
End If

You're missing WHILE statement. Try something like:

While (Not oDynaListRS.EOF)
If (len(oDynaListRS.Fields.Item(txtDynaListLabel).Value) &gt; len(varMaxWidth)) Then
varMaxWidth = oDynaListRS.Fields.Item(txtDynaListLabel).Value
End If
varCheckLength = varCheckLength + 1
varDynaList = varDynaList + 3
oDynaListRS.MoveNext()
Wend

If (varCheckLength &gt; varMaxLength) Then
varMaxLength = varCheckLength
End If
