hi ,
I am working on an existing application that has one field in particular the users want to change into a drop-down list. This drop-down list would have 10 or so
different options.  The problem I have is that the existing data is not limited to the items in the dropdown.  What is the best way to handle this? 
I could try to convert the existing data ( that seems impossible, because it's not like the data they want in the dropdowns).  Then I thought I would try to create a dropdown list that allows for values that aren't in the list. Or I could populate the dropdown list and then for those old records, I could display them as 'not in list'..... I'm not sure what is the best way to handle this.  What is your advise?
 
thanks
