RE: Best Idea Needed
Another good idea with the rows, but in total I think there are close to 60 selects and more to be added so that's why I used selects. 60 Rows would be rather larger where currently I have 3 selects in a row so it cuts down on the height.

RE: Best Idea Needed
No the options are randomly numbered (not in equal sets of any denomination) so that idea as good as it would work will not in this case. Thanks for the input anyways.

Re: Best Idea Needed
If the number of options in each select are 5 then you can take the
value and divide by 5 and examine the results
But I suspect it would be a dynamic range - again if the total range
is exactly distributed in 3 selects you can do the validation
mathematically
