Hello All,
   I have a field in a form which expects a predefined set of data existing
in the database. The dataset is of type code-description, where the user is
expected to select or enter a description and the form passes back a code
for it. This can be presented best in the form of a dropdown list. But my
problem is that this set of data is huge ( around 200 rows ) and the
descriptions for each code is also pretty long. What do you guys think could
be a good replacement of the drop down list to prevent any bad data entry. 
I want to force the users to do something like a search and select kind of
thing.

Thanks 
Avinash
