No, a dropdown form field can include a blank option (create it with a
space) but not a fillin one. For that you need a combo box, which is an
ActiveX component (not compatible with a protected form).

Can I have a blank free text option as one of the options in my drop down
list in a form? I want my form to have a list to choose from but if
necessary the form can be completed by the editors own choice not listed.
