This particular function was designed when we thought the list wound be a maximum of 30 or so choices. It was also designed to user specs. They were given various examples as choices for each list in the system (ListBox, ComboBox, Grid, whatever).

I agree that a re-evaluation might be appropriate.

Take care,
