I think I'm going to have to. At the moment the 7,000 entries are every 6th
form school/colledge in the country. The form as it is takes about 30
seconds to load so I htink I'm going to break it down whereby the user
selects a letter which the school name starts with. This will restrict the
list sufficiently. Lets hope the client goes for it!

Yes .. strike the client about the head firmly and repeatedly until they
understand the foolishness of their ways ;)
What in the world would you need 7,000 entries in a single select box? Is
there a way you could split that up, or drill down to a more manageable
number?

| I have a form with a select control that loads approx 7000 options into it

| form on a PC it's fine. However on a Mac I see nothing. When I reduce
the
