I simple would like to insert (import) a text list or Excel list of items into a Drop Down Box as opposed to typing out all the 50+ items.

Can you point me to a tutorial?

Hello eopi

Do a concatener in excel and copy paste the result in LCd

before and after each line of your list

ROSFR11,

Thx, this answer seems easy enough.

But where would I paste the list? I placed it in "Add" value section for list items; that didn't work. It only accepted the first entry.

Hi eopi,

Sorrry but I have somme problems to post my reply on this forum because of the HTML limitation.

First create a simple dropdown list ex:
1
2
3

The open the XML view and find the code of that dropdown list.

1
2

That's where you have to paste your list from Excel

Anyhow, it works. Thanks.
