Dynamic Picklist???

This may be possible, sort of.

I was looking into how the picklists are rendered and they are tables, not
controls. The table is shown when the button is pressed. Could you
dynamically add and remove from that table via javascript?

Just trying to figure out how to stretch the envelope.

Jake,

Doing this via javascript should work. In fact, it is probably one of the more
stable way to approach this.

I am trying to populate the picklist dynamically with javascript. I know
how to call the web services and and get the required data back to the crm
form but I do not know how to add new values and text to the list items.
If I add the list items dynamically, and when the user create the account,
how will the list items save in the form???

In the sdk there's a sample how to do it. You'll have to take a look at it
because it will be easier than I explain it here, plus it has all the
codes you need.

All you do is from the dropdownlist on change java script, you can call
the aspx file. in aspx file, everything you do will be in the code behind
and display as xml format.

when you get the results, you just display it as xml format.

Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.Write(strContactQueryResults);

where strContactQueryResults string consists of xml tags.

take a look at the sdk and you'll understand it easily.
