I have not used the drop down before, but I did a quick experiment that seems to work. I'll try to document it as best as I can. Hopefully, I understood your intent.I created a text box that contains the definition. The default text is just "Definition", but that will change.I then created a drop down box. I populated it with "Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave". I created four variables. I gave each one a name equal to what is in my drop down box. I assigned values as below:Alice = CooperBob = BarkerCarol = BurnettDave = LettermanI then created an Action Group. I assigned one action per element. The actions are:Change Contents (Text Box) to Alice IF DropList_001 = Alice.Change Contents (Text Box) to Bob IF DropList_001 = Bob.Change Contents (Text Box) to Carol IF DropList_001 = Carol.Change Contents (Text Box) to Dave IF DropList_001 = Dave.Finally, I went back into the Drop Down Box and changed the On Select/Change to Run Action Group. It worked pretty well, though rudimentary. Obviously, you can make it much better with some development.Let me know if this isn't quite what you're asking for.Kevin
