You shouldn't need the second drop down box at all. What you appear to need
is a conditional field (or fields) that give a result based on the content
of the first field. Thus :
{IF {Dropdown1} = "John Smith" "ARIBA"}{IF {Dropdown1} = "Jane Brown"
"ARICS" } etc
Check the 'calculate on exit' check box of Dropdown1 and when you select and
tab out of the field the appropriate result will be written to the
conditional field.

I have created a form to be filled in using Word 2003. I have two
drop-down boxes which I need to link somehow.
What I want to do is:
If the name in the first drop-down box is "John Smith"
The qualification in the next drop-down box is "ARIBA"
If the name in the first drop-down box is "Jane Brown",
The qualification in the next drop-down box is "ARICS"
Help would be appreciated please.
TIA
