Default Can you place lines in a dropdown ? - 10-02-2005 , 12:43 PM






I have a value list being populated by values from another database. I
would like each entry to be separated by a line when the dropdown box
is displayed. Is this possible and if so how ?

In any value list, a single hyphen (-) will be displayed as a dividing
line in a dropdown list or menu.

The problem is that value lists based on field contents are always sorted
alphabetically. Thus, you can't control where the lines would be: all of
them will be at the top.

The only way to control the order of items in a dropdown list or menu, to
include placement of dividing lines, is to do a custom list.
