Cascading column entries in libraries possible? in Windows SharePoint Services    |   |  Help   Search For:     In:   Office              Michael 6/22/2005 9:29 AM PST   Question   We'd like to add a column in a document library whose selection depends on the selection of another column. For example we have a new column called Topics, where users can select from 5 different topics. Once the selection is made, I'd like to have them select one of 20 subtopics in second column that further defines the selection made in the topic column. This way I dont have to list 100 topics in a single column. -- MK     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Mike Walsh 6/22/2005 11:02 AM PST   Answer   Nope, not in the standard product. If you want to (roughly) do it in the UI have the web part of this document library *twice* in a web part page and use web part connections linked on Topic. Selecting topic=A will then list all the sub-topics for topic=A. If this isn't exactly what you want and you want to consider a programming solution, post a question *asking for a programming solution* to the subnewsgroup for WSS Programming at microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices.development.
