Country selector on form

[Jane Here]

I have a form where a user fills in her Country. At the moment she has to
type her Country in full. eg USA.

I would like to give her a list of all countries, and she selects one.

How can I accomplish this in FP2003?

You have to create a list of countries in a drop menu.

The basic way is a drop-down list form element. You can also save that code in a
notepad file and when ever you need that bit of code, simply cut and paste from
the notepad document.

A 'country selector' seems to be a pretty standard form feature these days.

I thought it might be a standard control available in FP. OK so I have to
make it.

Is there a list of countries available anywhere, with I guess a recognized
shortcut for them?

Do a search for ISO Country Codes in IE address bar, will give you a list of country names to use.

Thanks for your help. I now have a drop-down list of countries. I have made
one of the elements a line so that the top 5 countries are at the top, and
the full list is at the bottom.

Is it possible to make that element (the line) non-selectable by the user?

Maybe, I have never had a need to separate a drop down list.
