2. Re: How do you create a field where older entries are available in a dropdown of that field?
Hey Rave, I'm not sure you understand what I'm looking for. I'm looking to create a fillable pdf, where someone opens it up in Reader and when they update a field with new information, the old information is retained in that field. And I would like the old information to be retained in a dropdown. Does that make sense? I am not looking to create a dropdown menu with options in it.

It can be done, but it's not that simple. You would need to create a drop-down field and set it to allow user input. Then you would need a script that will take each value the user enters into it and adds it to the list of options of the drop-down when that value is committed.
There are also all kinds of potential issues with it that you should consider, such as privacy issues and getting a list overloaded with a bunch of old (or wrong) data...
