Your solution makes sense, but as you noted it would involve 2 pages. I
think I am just going to use a list and cinch it up in size so only a few of
the choices show at a time. That will give the users a vertical scroll bar
to to navigate to and make their other selections.
I still need to display those selections to the end user of the form, and am
using this on the selection change tab of the list field. var f1 =
this.getField("txt_dmm");
f1.value = event.change;
With the above code, it puts one one of the selections in a text field, but
not all of them. Ideally I'd like to separate out the selections into three
different text boxes anyway. Is there a way for me to tell it to put the
first selection in txt_dmm, and if there is a second selection put it in
txt_dmm_2, and if a third selection put it in txt_dmm_3?

Just my opinion - but I think 426 choices would justify it's own page
(that doesn't print, perhaps) with check boxes. Then write a script
that takes the info from that page and populates your list.
Not an elegant work-around, I admit, but it should work and maybe even
be a little more user-friendly than scrolling through hundreds of
options in a single field.

Hello All
I've run in to a limitation in Acrobat that has me stumped, and I was
hoping someone has seen this before and may have some ideas on a
work-around.
I have a form that uses a combo box field to allow users to make a
single selection from 426 choices. The requirement for this field has
changed. Now the users must be able to select multiple items (probably
no more than 3) from the list of 426 choices.
I can change the combo box to a list box, which offers the multiple item
selection capability, but the physical length of the list on the form
makes this solution prohibitive.
Any suggestions on how you may have solved theis problem, or ideas you
have would be appreciated. As I said, I am stumped - I don't see how to
get around this limitation in Acrobat.
Thanks in advance.for your time
