Is there a way to filter the lookup field on a list.  I have a time
ticket that has a lookup field tied to a work order list - so a tech
can select a work order to put their hours against.  But - the lookup
box is getting long and I'd like only active work orders to appear in
it.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
