Yes, it's possible. You can make third dropdown box dependent on second one or make both second and third dropdowns dependent on first one.

Can you have a third (or even fourth) dependent on both the first and second (and third)?

Khris,
no, it doesn't work this way. Each dropdown has only one master.

Can you point me to any resources on how I might be able to do something like this? I have a table with four data columns in it which all need to be linked together.
ex: dropdown 2 needs to be based on dropdown 1

dropdown 3 needs to be based on dropdown 2 and dropdown 1

dropdown 4 needs to be based on dropdown 3 and dropdown 2 and dropdown 1
When you're setting up the dropdown, can you use either a $values or $data variable in the WHERE clause?
