controlling dropdown boxes in forms...

Hi,
In FP2002 can I somehow control a sequence of dropdown boxes in a form so
the selection in the first box changes the options available in the next box
etc etc?
Is this outside the realm of what FP can do and into the arcane art of some
sort of scripting (about which I know less than I do about FP).
Any & all comments appreciated.

Virtually,

Mike D

Fast work, thanks Stefan.
But tell me...

I need all values selected to be printed to a formatted text email result,
ie the logical train of the dropdowns structure retained in the 'printout'.
Will this be possible?
Basically I want to provide a multiple of options without confronting the
viewer with an endless form, hence reusing as much screen real estate as
possible.
Again, your advice greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Mike D
PS This irt.org looks like a good place for the scripting challenged like
myself, know any others off the top of your head?;-)

Your form can send any or all of the values of fields since the field names don't change using most of the scripts in the link
