Correct me if im wrong but I think what chad wants to do is use the Dropdown as an Insert query,,, I see this a lot in Filemaker apps. the field is a textbox, but if you type into it the dropdown appears and jumps to the position your typeing much like a regular dropdown only allowing you to type more than one character...sorta like haveing the Dropdown in a hidden div below a textbox...and the preselection being a Where selected is like 'form.textbox% ' BUT if the final solution you type is not in the list it is ADDED via Insert...
I havent seen an animal like this ,,, but now i really wanna go code something like it!!
