Drop Down Menu - linking

Question
-
I am working on a new quote format and have added drop down menu's throughout my doc so that I can utilize one standard quote format and not have to keep records of each on for each differently sized machine.
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to link a few of these drop down menu's together so that if I make a change to one of them, the other ones that are linked will change as well.
Is this possible? To make say 4 or 5 drop down menu's linked so you only have to change the one and not every drop down menu?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi
How did you create the drop down menu, did you create it via Drop down list content control?
We can link several drop down list by the following methods via code.

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for your reply. I am certainly a novice when it comes to VBA coding and code writing.
So my question is this, on that link you sent me it has an example regarding the food items, but in the code there is reference to food item and food group. I would need to change those items to be the same as my title and/or Tag name of the drop down menu?
Is there a good website or location I can go to that would help me gain the basics in VBA coding so I could understand this better?
thanks,
stefan
