Design a form. Put a listbox field on the form (choices) and a text field (other). At the bottom have a hidden computed field with the formula @Trim(Choices : Other). Call this field “Selection”. That’s the user-entered value.

Use that form in your dialog.

This download: Domino Design Library Examples contains a script library named @Prompt and some subforms named @Promptxxx that show how this is done using LotusScript. There’s a document that describes how the functions are used. None of the subforms is exactly what you’re asking for, but you should be able to see how it works from this.

If this is not enough to give you the idea, then please describe your problem in more detail, show whatever code you already have, and explain what it’s doing that you don’t like. We don’t have time to develop it all for you, but we might be able to point out where you have gone wrong.
