want.
We used something like that but for the life of me, can not recall the name
of it right now.
Either use a textbox to type and drilldown the list from that.
Else break up the list by using hyperlinks such as:
[A-G] [H-P] [R-Z]
Then filter the query using those parameters

Subject: RE: Huge dropdown list of names...type in name as well as selecti
ng it???
Let me clarify that.
I do log in with just a username and password. Once logged in there is a
selection dropdown box where you can select a user profile? This profile
list is whats very large.
Sorry for the confusion.
