Drop down Boxes "None" value - 3/28/2002 9:53:56   
I am retreiving data and displaying it with a drop down box. Sometimes the data in the drop down box does not exist for submission and I would like to allow the user to continue without entering data in that field. As I have it now all the reocrds are being retrived and there is no allowance for "blank" or "none". The user is forced to select one of the records. Any suggestions?

In normal view, try right-click on field > form field properties > Validate > uncheck "data required".

It is difficult to see the changes you made. Pehaps you could just show the lines with the changes. Thanks.
