Default Populating ComboBox or Drop Down list with contents of a text field

I'd like to do two things.



1. Populate a drop down list or combo box with the contents of a text boxes completed earlier in the form.

2. If there are not enough text boxes in the form, add the ability to add another and another as needed ( that are also populated in the lists)


So I have text boxes for a user to fill in Locations (e.g. Location 1, Location 2, Location 3, Location 4). I want the content of those locations boxes to populate a drop down list or combo box later in the form.

Thank you!

Hi
This is probably better done in Excel. However before confirming that I need to see a copy of the document together with details of what you actually want the form to do.
If you can post more detailed instructions and a copy of your document I will take a look for you.
