Force user to use dropdown

[Totes]

How do I go about forcing users to use a drop-down list instead of typing in the field?

I have a drop-down with six different K9 breeds and of course spelling is important because of some of the searches I have scripted (and of course I have people who get happy fingers and type too fast and misspell).

I do not want to use a script trigger.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jim

You can add validation to the field so that all entries must be in a predetermined value list.

This is why I like popups that are really IDs, bcs that is the best way to have "clean" data.

Have you tried a popup window select technique? You could have a list view (filtered with a script trigger) or a filtered portal?
