Laura,

If I may add in one final suggestion. Take advantage of using the MSP forum available exclusively for MSP's. There are certain perks, details of which were outlined in the webinar I conducted a couple of weeks ago.

Hey Laura,

If you look in your screen list, you should see a screen that is named after your dropdown, you should be able to add more items from that screen.

If you don't have a screen with those values, you will need to create one.

To do this go to the screens tab section and create a new screen based off the table your dropdown is pointed to. Make sure to add buttons to the screen to add or delete records.

Ryan, I can see the list with the values, but simply cannot add a new drop-down value. Is there a way you can view my database for this?

I am sure this is covered in a recorded webinar. I have a custom drop-down field named QuickBooks Version and I use it on the Customer Screen, Additional Info tab.

I originally created it with the help of Method tech support and now I need to add new drop-down lists items (other years version of QuickBooks), can can't see to find it.

Any help appreciated.
