Maximum Number of Drop-Down List Items?

[Robert Finke]

Hi: I'm having a problem with a drop down list that displays about 2000 items in alphabetical order. Some of the items starting with Z are not appearing. Is there a maximum number of items that can be displayed in a drop down list.

I don't think there's a limit on the number of items, but there are limits on the depth of indexing. For example, single-word values are indexed only up to the 110th character or so.

In any case, a drop-down with 2000 items doesn't seem very practical. See here for some alternatives.
