[dba-Tech] Simple online entry form solution

[Susan Harkins]

I really don't like Google Docs, but that's where I started. My biggest need
is a dropdown list, preferably one that I can populate from sheet data --
that doesn't seem to be an option for 365. One of the Microsoft form options
offers a dropdown list, but you have to manually enter the values, which
isn't terrible by any means -- I'd have to update the list as the group adds
and loses members, but I'd have to do that to a list at the sheet level as
well.

Since you have mentioned Google Sheets, why not try Google Forms?

You can create a form, with or without the need for the respondent to have a
Google account.

It allows you to build Combo boxes among other input methods.

Or are you trying to build the form using sheet input?
