Razzak, actually, and though I hate to be ignorant I don't mind admitting it, I did not know that. Does this require the menu to be defined within the Form.Field setting? If not, would you mind clarifying a bit or pointing me to an example in the doc's?
Also, thanks for thinking about the essence of what I would like to achieve, rather than the instantiation details I provided. IOW, it seems that you were able to see what it was I wanted to do, rather than just doing what I said. That's the same approach I (try to) take with my users, "Please tell me what it is you want, then we can figure out the best way to arrange the technologies to accomplish it."
