Hello,
Wonder if there is a way to have my Drop-Down box selections create individule single row/dual colume tables for each item that was selected from the drop-down box.
An example would be:
1: I selected 3 items from my drop-down box at one time (my drop-down box allows multiple selections).
2: I click a button call "Create Template" and three new single row/dual colume tables are created with the names if the items.

Here is what I have so far, but need a little help.
Notice I have added the three tables in to show how it should look but this is for information only as these should be created automaticaly.

Thanks for any help.
