drop down lists

[LXDZINE]

Can i get more than 25 options for drop down lists? I want to do a time sheet
where people can choose a time closest to a half hour based on a 24 hr clock.

Any ideas?
Thanks,jjc

No. 25 is a maximum.
You can populate a dropdown list with vba based on the content of another
field as demonstrated in Greg Maxey's macro below

Sub OnExitDDListA()
'Greg Maxey
Dim oDD As DropDown
Set oDD = ActiveDocument.FormFields("SecondaryDD").DropDown
'Clear previous list
oDD.ListEntries.Clear
'Repopulate list based on user selection
Select Case ActiveDocument.FormFields("PrimaryDD").Result
Case "A"
With oDD.ListEntries
.Add "Apples"
.Add "Apricots"
.Add "Artichokes"
End With
Case "B"
With oDD.ListEntries
.Add "Blueberries"
.Add "Beets"
.Add "Brocolli"
End With
Case "C"
With oDD.ListEntries
.Add "Cherries"
.Add "Celery"
.Add "Cilantro"
End With
End Select
End Sub

or you can do the lot with a userform with a time control - which would be
rather more elegant.
