Hi,

i am looking for help with dropdowns and returns. I would like to b able to
have staff select their business area from a dropdown menu, when a business
area is selected i would like it to then offer the corresponding cost codes
for that business area as a dropdown and those cost codes be available for
selection.

Is it possible?

many thanks in anticipation.
