Solved the error message by usingevent.rc = true;All is well! Thanks again for your help!

Is it possible to use something similar in a more general case?I would like to use the idex of the selected item in the drop-down to index into an array.Any ideas? Thanks!

Both are correct! Thanks for the assistance!

I have written a script to populate the items in a drop-down list but only if there is no entry already existing.The problem I have is recognizing that the list is empty. I have tried to test for null (if dropdown.isNull = true) and testing therawValue = "" and a bunch of other things with no good r...
