I've been researching this for a long time, but every solution that
seems to approach it presumes a level of knowledge that requires more
research. I'm just an office monkey trying to make a form and not a
programmer. There is no budget to hire a programmer. I'm now out of
time.
I'd like to use the same list of options (about 20) for separately
bound list boxes without retyping it 10 times and also be able to
update it in one place.
My form is not linked to a database. I do have word and excel.
I tried saving the list in word as an .xml file and linking to that. I
haven't been able to locate if there is a preferred way to list the
selections (table? comma delimited row? single column?) and which part
of the xml file tree structure that's presented (with the non-intuitive
array of bewildering acronyms and abbreviations) to actually link to
(I'm guessing it's something under the "body" section.)
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
