I am relatively new to livecycle and have been struggling with this issue for awhile now. As per the subject line, I just wanted to know if there is a way to make the lists in two fields, namely a dropdown box and a list box, the same? I am trying to set up a form whereby there is one list box that I can dynamically add to (that part I have figured) which then feeds the updated list to drop down boxes throughout my form. Any direction on this would be greately appreciated. Thank you.

this script adds the item selected in the drop down to the list box. Not sure if it will work the other way around but maybe it will give you something to work with.

//adds chosen item to the list box named CCList
CCList.addItem(xfa.event.newText);

Hi Fridgie, it sounds like you're double-handling there. It may be your intention, or you might just think it necessary - I'm not sure which. But just in case it's not intentional, as well as Sue's suggestion, there may be another way to do what you want. Some time ago, I asked for a similar thing and ThomP came up with a response. Here's the link to that one... http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=21148.

Having said all that, I'll be taking advantage of Sue's advice from this one (thanks for that Sue).

Hopefully either Sue or Thom's solution gives you what you want as well... Peta
