Default Drop Down List

I am trying to create an escalation list. There are three levels of
escalation. For each level I would like a drop down list of employees to
choose from. Once an employee is selected I would like to show their contact
information. What would be the best way to go about doing this?

Default Drop Down List

hi
i think you mean dependent dropdowns or cascading combos.
see this site for an explination.
you can use data validation or combo boxes. the process is pretty much the
same.
