    Controlling Multiple Option Compatibility

    I need to make a form that has several dropdowns to choose options, exterior color, interior color, engine size, wheel size, trim level, etc. Many options are not compatible with other options. Sometimes it is due to 3 or 4 other selections that an option might not be compatible, not just one. Do any of you have any recommendations on how to best handle preventing incompatible selections from being made?

    Perhaps you could use Cascading Combo boxes where the available values in a combo box are dependent on the values selected in other combo boxes.
    Try a search for "Cascading" or "Cascading Combo" or post back if you need more help
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.
