Don't use a second form field for the second occurrence. Instead use
a REF field to reference the bookmark assigned to the dropdown form
field. Make sure that "Calculate on exit" is checked in the Form
Field Options for the dropdown field. You can use Insert | Reference
| Cross-reference to insert the REF field, selecting "Bookmark" as
the reference type and "Bookmark text" under "Insert reference to."

Hi

I've built a dropdown menu in my form and I'd like to autofill
another field
with the value (not the display name) of whichever selection the user
makes
on the dropdown menu. I can't find anything in help which tells me
how to do
this and although I've found some references on other forums, I don't
really
know anything about VBA so I'm finding it very hard to follow. Could
anyone
break it down for me?

Thanks!!
