I cant think of a way to do it except either a custom field, or set up a BDC 
web service for this.

Subject: [OzMOSS] Filter lookup drop-down box

Hi all,

When creating a new list item, I am trying to find out how I can filter a 
drop-down box (a lookup to another list) based on another field of the foreign 
list.  I have these lists set up:
List A.  Fields are: ID, Enabled (Yes/No)
List B.  Fields are numerous, including one lookup to the ID field of List A.

When I create a new item in List B, I'm presented with the lookup drop-down box 
containing all ID's from List A.  I only want to display ID's in that drop-down 
if their corresponding 'Enabled' field is set to yes.

I had achieved this using a Javascript that removed all elements from that 
drop-down, and repopulated it only with 'enabled' items, which worked fine.  
However, since SharePoint renders drop-downs as a <select> if under 20 
elements, and as an <input> if it contains >20 elements, this JS only works if 
there are less than 20 elements in List A.  (see 
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/4c96520a-bf28-4877-915a-2e615e8d1ebf/)

Can anyone tell me if there is another/better way of achieving this?

Kind regards,
Chris
