In certain fields of my database I have value lists in the form of a pop up list. A person can either choose from the list or enter text that is not yet on the list. Then it becomes another entry on the list.

However, when I publish this database on the web (Instant Web Publishing) I can no longer enter any text that is not in the pop up list. I changed the pop up to a drop down menu because there is an option for "other" this way. But the drop down menu is very long and slow to scroll. Moreover, the "other" option doesn't work on the Web, just only when viewing the database directly.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks,

Tom

I wonder if you had the field appear twice on the Layout. One with the pop-up and one without.

This may present a workable web-page.

There is always Custom Web Publishing (CWP)!

Good Luck.

Thanks Gary, this works and does not look too bad. Later, after I learn more about publishing on the web maybe I'll discover a way not to use this work around. But it does work.
