What im looking for, when a specific field is equal to a specific number, a entry into the list box is added.

//Example

if (TextField1=="10")
then add item "Apple" to DropDownList1
elseif (TextField1=="15")
then add item "Pie" to DropDownList1
endif

After reading the scripting reference I see examples of a dynamic drop down list but its usually referring to connect it with a data source, which I do not want to do.

Thanks in advance.

If you would like to see the form, just ask.

Search the Learning center's livecycle articles for Thom Parker's "Programming List and combo boxes" article. With it you can learn how to make the entry in one field change the entry in the second field.
This will not have a database connection involved.

LiveCycle Designer includes a "Scripting Reference" under its "Help" menu item.

You can search for the "additem" method you will find an explanation on how to use this method.

Wow thanks that just what I needed I had looked but its obviously I didn't know what I was looking for.

For future generations the sample code looks like this.

DropDownList1.addItem("Human Resources")

Im attempting to build a Role Playing Battler Game and im going to use this to insert new skills when the player hits a specific level.

This solves alot of problems Thank You.
