Howto: Populate a dropdown box based on the value of another dropd

[Lidschi]

Hi @Newsgroup,

how can I manage to automatically populate a dropdown field based on the
value that the user chooses in another dropdown field, e.g.
the user chooses "Summer" from dropdown box 1 and in another dropdown box
appears "Wear Shorts" as the result.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards
Lidschi.

This is a common scenario that some of our MVPs have covered.

There are a couple of explanations that might help you out.

Hi Jerry,

thank you very much for your help so far. Can you give me the URL to an
example that covers my question? I can't find the correct example from the
list.

Thanks and kind regards

I was thinking "Repeating Cascading Lists of Cascading Lists" about 1/3 of
the way down the "Examples" page might address your needs.
