How to get rid of previously entered info that displays as a drop down choice in text box?  The data I placed into the text boxes continually pops up as an option to select for the text box.  How do I prevent previous data entries from showing up in the future?

I think that you may need to just turn off the AutoComplete feature in Acrobat.

Edit>Preference>Forms>AutoComplete and choose Off

Would a Reset Form button work?

Good Suggestion but that doesn't work.  The button simply removes the data

that is in the actual field.  I need to get rid of stored

information in the field that pops up as a possible choice for entry.  I want every form to be clean when the use goes to enter something on it, not to have choices available to them.

Thanks though....

Try this;

In JavaScript (assuming your subform that you want to clear out is called mySubform):

xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.form1.mySubform");
