Default Drop-down list problem


Hi all...Here's my question:
Is it possible to create "multi-layered" drop-down lists...as in, you
click on a cell and get a drop-down list of items to select, whereby
selecting one of those items creates a "sub-dropdown" list of more
specific items in the category originally selected in the first
dropdown list?
A classic example of this would be (for you eBay listers out there) how
you select the most specific category for which to list an item...only I
would prefer to stay away from any SERIOUS programming.

Finding a solution to this will help alleviate a much greater problem
for which I am trying to find another solution for elsewhere on this
board.

Thanks in advance for the help!

See Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions on creating dependent lists.
