With Word Developer function How can I copy the drop down list items from one drop down into another/new drop down? I have a list of years starting with 1911 all the way to 2030 and would prefer to copy these years into multiple drop down boxes rather than re-keying them in over and over again as I have multiple fields where end users need to enter dates of birth.

A wild guess you wanted Windows forms forums.

Using what technology? You haven't given us much to go on here.

I agree with Mike that since we don't have the option read your mind, we need you to elaborate on what language and technology you use. With that been said, in most language you have an option of using array. You can create array of numbers from 1911 to 2030 and use this array as many times as you want.
