Hello,

I have two drop-downs, one static and one dynamic (based on the first
drop-down selection). A lot of data to be imported into the second
drop-down based on the first selection. If someone wants more details
about this, please contact me (by email please). I'm willing to pay
for your help (Paypal only), thanks!

Are you using LiveCycle? Here is a good thread on how to dynamically
populate a drop down list using a web service.

Hi,
 
Attached is a simple sample, where based on the selection in the first dropdown the values in the second drop down are changed....
But in this case, the values are hardcoded in the form... u can get the values via a webservice instead to avoid hard coding.....
 
Hope this helps....

Thanks for your responses. The major problem is importing data,..
which is a huge csv file under this format:

"ID";"ID_county";"zip";"name"
"1";"1";"11";"Sample 1"
"2";"1";"12";"Sample 2"
"3";"1";"18";"Sample 3"
"4";"1";"22";"Sample 4"
"5";"2";"81";"Sample 5"
"6";"2";"11";"Sample 1"
"7";"2";"12";"Sample 2"
"8";"2";"18";"Sample 3"
"9";"2";"22";"Sample 4"
"20";"2";"81";"Sample 5"

Need to ignore zip field. Drop and down 1 will be ID_country, and drop
and down 2 will be name based on drop and down 1 selection. The file
is huge and cannot create the entries by hand,... any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
 
You can have this file in the server and access it using a web service.
The webservice can be called in the initialize event of the form and you can populate the Dropdownlist 1. And when a value is selected in Dropdownlist1, trigger another webservice call in the exit event.. and pass the selected parameter. This will in turn populate the second dropdownlist.
 
For all this, the form should be reader extended.
Hope it makes sense... ill check if there are any samples available in the web.
