Is it possibe to create a Pull down box on a form, but
instead of adding all the choices to the box, rather link
it to an Excel file of any other type of file, where you
can add all the reuqired choices?

It is certainly possible to use ASP or ASP.Net (or any other server-side
programming technology) to fecth data from any database (yes, Excel is a
type of database), and populate a drop-down box with it. It does require
programming to do it.

Yes, the Database Results Wizard can create Drop-Down
Boxes populated with values from a database table.

On the fourth page of the wizard, you specify Dropdown
List - One Record Per Item.
