I have a list lookup in a form which returns a person field with multiple selections. There is only one field returned, and it is displayed like this:
User Name1;User Name2;User Name3; ... etc.

Is there a way to make the users display in a drop down:
User Name1
User Name2
User Name3
so I can pick one member from the field?

if you have all the user names in single field, you will not be able to split into separate options in lookup control.

in order you could achieve what you need, you would need to design ordinary master-detail relationship, ie. to a given lookup master key assign single users as separate (detail) items

Hi Donald, 

Can you send us more detail on the list that you use for the input?  Some screenshots of the people list, etc.
