This would definitely be possible. I have my own database of 
products/vendors that has pull down menus. However, I only have about 50 
vendors. I don't know how long a pulldown list could be and still be 
practical. I do know most browsers let you jump to a particular first 
letter of a list by typing it after selecting the pulldown.

My pulldown list shows vendor names which the program then converts to a 
vendor_id number.

Doing this should be fairly easy, with a default selection of 'new' if a 
part/service needs to be added, a second entry of 'manual' entry and a 
text entry to be used if 'new' or 'manual' is selected.

I haven't had time to check out 1.3 yet. It is possible something like 
this has been added to it.
