Dear all,

To update a fillable form at work, I followed the excellent video made by Sharon Smith on how to create multi-level dependent drop-down lists in Word (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54dSJukbe3k).



For the first two levels it worked perfectly well, just as I wanted, but not for the third level. As you can see in the screenshot below, for the 3rd level I cannot select anything, I just have the arrow but cannot click on it.

I think I have followed the steps from her video as I should have, and have adapted the Macros as needed. Anyone have a clue of what could be the problem? Maybe there is a way to link Module 1 and Module 2 which I have not understood?

Thank you in advance for the help! After re-reading the code for the modules and rewatching the video, I struggle to see what could be the problem.

Wishing you a great day!

Thank you but I don't seem to find the answer, which is why I am calling upon your experience. If you saw this happening, what would you think happened with the 3rd level?

Either example in https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...tml#post132696 does essentially the same thing as in the video - the 'B' version even has an extra level for you to play with. A fundamental difference is that my approach uses Content Controls, which means you don't need to apply 'filling in forms' protection for it to work.

The only valid reason for using formfields would be that you need to employ the older .doc file format instead of the newer .docx or .docm file format. If so, you will need to upload your actual document (without password protection), including the vba code you're using, so we can diagnose the problem. There is simply no way to do so from the document snippet you've posted.
