You're not using the default status field, ID 7? You can change the field properties on character fields to drop down list. Then users can only use the menu. Sam

It gets updated by a button that pulls up a menu of status. People keep free forming in the status field which screws up the status etc., I changed the permissions of the field but that does not allow the users to update with the update button. My other thought was to run an active link that triggers an error on gain focus. Which works, however, i am not sure it is the correct method. I just do not want to see in my status field missppelled statuses like Klosed or ClOsed or whatever, any helpful hints?
