Panos, See [http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/cascading-selects](http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/cascading-selects) and [http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/external-itemsets](http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/external-itemsets) for more dynamic selects with the current generation of ODK tools. External databases and web service hooks are possible in the 2.0 generation, but I don't think that stuff works now. See [http://opendatakit.org/use/2\_0\_tools](http://opendatakit.org/use/2_0_tools).
