Dmitry,

100 items is probably too many for a dropdown. Perhaps Cathi's suggestion was the better idea.

>Bonnie,
>I have not even thought about dropdown (you mean like a combo box). I thought that dropdowns should not have more than like 10 items. I wonder if there is a practical limit of how many items the dropdown could have before it becomes too slow to open. I anticipate that the lookup list will have up to 100 items/records.
