Drop-down box problem

[Guest]

I need help with a drop down box problem I've encountered. I am working on a
Windows 2000 desktop with Ofc XP Pro, SP3. Front Page is loaded and I have
administrator rights to our office web server.
Problem: I want users from 2 different offices to be able to fill in and
submit a training request form which will be routed via email (Outlook) to
their supervisors.
What I wanted to do was have the user select the appropriate office from a
drop down box. A second drop down box would then display the branch names so
the user can select which branch they belong to. The branch selection would
then be hyperlinked to the appropriate training form. I created the first
drop down box with no problem but the second drop down box I can't seem to
get to display only a particular set of branch names.

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

have you already tried something like
<select name="branch">
<option value="Finance">
<option value="I.T">
<option value="Sales">
</select>

that's a normal drop down list.....all you do is Insert > Form > dropdown
box, then enter the values etc in the drop down that is inserted in the form
on the page.

Thanks Andrew! I am going to give this a whirl before I try Stefan's link.

Thanks, Stefan! I checked out the link on chainedselects lists and it is
awsome. I'll test it out next week!
