Is there a way to configure a dropdownlistbox control to allow the user to type if their choice is not in the list? If not, is there another control?

Thanks!

Why don't you make one of your items in the DDL "Other..." and when this item is selected, display a textbox that allows the user to type in their custom selection.

Am I understanding your question correctly?

Add a value to your ddl with the name "other" or something like that. Place a text box next to the ddl. Add the following conditional formatting to the ddl "name of ddl" contains "other" hide this control and this to the text box "name of textbox" does not contain "other" hide this control. Just tried it and it works perfect.

Matt is too fast for me...

Forgot to mention it is in a repeating table that is tied to a datasource.

Shouldn't make any difference. Just try it.

I found an error in my example above: If you do like I suggested the ddl will reapear if you enter data in the textbox other than "Other". You have to do your conditioning on every single element in your ddl. It's a little effort but it's worth it :D
