Forms - suggestions requested

I am creating a FrontPage form that will contain a list of
approximately 90 codes. The field is a required field. I
was originally thinking I would create a drop-down box for
the user to select the appropriate field, but it gets
rather lengthy. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Thanks in advance.

If using the GUI is too much mousing around, doing the job in Code view may
be preferable. The HTML looks like this, with one <option> tag for each
option.

<select size="1" name="numeral">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

The text between the <option> and </option> tags is what the Web visitor
sees, and the text in quotes after value= is what goes to the Web server if
the visitor chooses that option.

Alternatively, if you have a database that contains all the valid
selections, you can use the Database Results Wizard to create the drop-down
list automatically.
