This is possible if you set up a Relationship where 1 vendor has many Projects.  They will be typically connected by the field [Related Vendor] and the lookup field and "Proxy" will be Vendor name.

Then on the FORM properties on the Project record for the vendor field, you can specify the report to be used for the drop down list of vendors, and it can be a report filtered to just show Electricians.

Ok...got it.  I have it working.  

HOWEVER- I need to have numerous fields that have the same functionality, but use different "filters" or "reports."  

For instance, I have one field to select a related electrician, another to select a related plumber, and another to select a related HVAC contractor.

Is this possible?
