I am tring to create a drop down list that a user can select different
predifined statments from a list and a seperate bax that will populate those
items selected so only the needed items are viewed and printable when needed.

there are a lot examples of "Cascading Dropdowns" on the net. but these are
only necessary if you are using form services.
try this one

If you are not limited by form services, you can do it simply by filtering
the input to each dropdown by the values of the previous dropdowns.

when configuring the dropdown, the Entries dialog box has a filter button in
the lower left corner. click that and set up a filter to only show the
values where a key in the datasource equals the value in the first dropdown.
