How to clear a selection from a dropdown box?

I have created a table in LiveCycle using a dropdown box with options to select "1", "2", or "3". The problem I am having is when I open the PDF from the user's perspective... Once I select any of the available options, I can't clear them out of the box. This is a problem if the user accidentally selected something, but really needs to leave the space blank. Delete and backspace won't work, and I'm basically stuck with a value once one has been selected.

How can I make it so that users can delete the selected value to make it a blank cell again? I am a beginner at LiveCycle and FormCalc, so a step-by-step answer would be most greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You cannot clear the selection from inisde the list - you can clear it using a resetData command from an event outside of the list. Normally people will reste all of the data using a button but if you only want to reset the single list you can put a button beside the list to clear it.

Make sense?

Thanks, but unfortunately that won't work for the purposes of this form.

I would like for the user to be able to actually clear the selection once they have selected it, making it blank again. Any other ideas?

I woudl add a blank entry as an option so they can choose that .....some people put the option "No Selection" to make it clear for the user.
