Selectively Use A Drop Down List

[wychegnome]

Is it possible to selectively use a drop down list based on the entry made in a different field?

To illustrate what I have in mind and would wish to do:

Field 1 is populated by an entry selected from a drop down list giving a choice between 'door', 'window' and 'garden'.

Field 2 is a detail relating to the content in Field 1 and is best filled by using a drop down list of choices. BUT, the content of the drop down list needs to be tailored relevant to the intial choice selected in Field 1 as the choices for door, window and garden are different.
For 'door' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'front', 'back', 'patio';
For 'window' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'casement', 'fixed', 'hinged';
For 'garden' in Field 1 the multiple choices might be 'lawn', 'concrete', 'hanging'.

Could the experts please advise.

It is possible with an external form but not an internal form.

I rather thought I'd have to use external forms which, for other reasons, I want to avoid.

Thank you for responding Alex.

Let me know if you end up doing it and need any direction on making it work. I just created a similar form on a project of mine, but it's of course an external form.
