Pull down menu limitation

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to circumvent the 50 character limit when typing different
choices of a pull down menu, that one uses in a form.

TIA

The dropdown form field has absolute limits of 25 items and 50
characters per item. The workaround you seek is the same as the one to
get around the 25-item limit: Make a userform and put a listbox or
combobox on it. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 for
instructions.
