Dropdown lists are good for a few items but become a real burden when you have thousands of parts. In fact, dropdown lists for customers and vendors have also been rewritten into a free form search because some companies have in excess of 60,000 customers. I should add that you still have a choice to use dropdown lists but there is an internal limit when the switchover occurs. Some browsers work reasonably fast with 4000 names (Netscape), others slow down too much already, so I set the limit to 1000 names.
