Conditional Drop Downs
 
Could anybody please advise me on the best way of having conditional drop
downs.

What I would like is a drop down for my first column that selects from a
list of manufacturers and then from that selection, select a list of
appropriate colours from that manufacturer. This list of manufacturers is
less than 10 but the list of colours per manufacturer is about 50

Thanks

Mike

What you're describing is Dependent Lists.

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions:

Does that help?
