This question relates to my "part 1" question. In addition to chapter names,
each chapter in my organization is assigned a chapter number. I'd like to be
able to have a user pick only one of the two--the number or the name--from a
drop-down box and have the other box fill in automatically. Is this possible?

I should have noted in "part 1" that I have essentially no ability to
program in Visual Basic.

Thanks, Doug. Unless I was looking at the wrong page of the site you
referred me to, that didn't seem to help. The good news is that the more I
think about it, the more it seems that there's a simpler answer: just put the
chapter number and chapter name in the same drop-down box entry. So far as I
know, no one's doing any kind of automated analysis of the form this data
appears on, so there's no reason to separate the number and name into
separate data fields. That will also let me free up a little space on the
form.

Thanks for trying, anyway.
