Dropdown Menus Extending Beyond Screen

We have several dropdown menus in our database that are so long, they extend off the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to limit the height of these menus? Below is an example screenshot. Thank you.

You could try a workaround with @PopUpMenu https://www.lantica.com/Forum5/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1510502381. I encountered a different problem with the dropdown menu in that they would sometimes dissapear in Win 10 due to hardware acceleration that I can't turn off. With @PopUpMenu you can literally create your own menu and make it display where you want with the Pos (X/Y) commands. Takes some work to get it to display right though. And you'd probably have to create a new field to do this and either mass update the data over from all you records or bind the new LE field to the old one. You might even be able to try something with @PopUpChoiceList.

Or you could try the same solution as in this post: https://www.lantica.com/Forum5/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1525122744

It's essentially creating a list element and tweaking a bunch of settings so that it acts like and appears like a dropdown list (but with a scroll bar, defined dimensions, etc.)

Thank you, actiontech, the second solution did the trick.
