Dynamic Drop down does not work inside a table

Hi all,
I have been unable to figure out what is going on with my Dynamic Dropdown for a couple of days now, and I have found other help on this forum before so I figured I would give it a try now.

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a dynamic drop down box that depends on the value selected in the
previous drop down box. This works fine until I add the drop downs into a table.

When I move the dropdown boxes into my table the second box will show the values (depending on what is selected) for about 1 second, then will go away. I will be unable to select the value even if I could move to it within a second.

Has anyone every heard of this? I have fiddled around with the table settings, the dropdown's. I don't know what else to try.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

Jenn,

I can think of two possible solutions:

1) Try right-clicking on the dropdown and choosing Bring to Front. It may just be the table is hiding the dropdown.

2) If that doesn't work, try not putting the dropdowns in a table. I assume you're putting them in a table for layout purposes, but you may be able to achieve the same results by setting margins on the dropdowns (select the dropdown, then go to the Layout palette).

HTH,
Kathryn
