SPFieldLookup in User Profiles?

Hi,

Wondering if it's possible to customize sharepoint profiles (in MOSS
2007) so they support a profile property based on a field lookup,
instead of a choice list.

I have several thousand users in my instance of MOSS. Each user can be
associated with one or more of 13,000 companies. I already have the
13,000 companies in a sharepoint list and would simply like to add a
profile property to the user profiles. This will allow users to select
all the companies they manage.

Basically, I'd like to replace the defined choice list with a true
sharepoint list.

Has anyone done this or can anyone imagine how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,
Frank

Hello Frank77,

You need to create your own profile page for this, and change standard one
Sharepoint doesnt support custom controls for SSP user profile page, AFAIK
