Default Scrolling down my drop down box

I have approximately 1500 rows in my validation list for products I want to
select however when I use my drop down box I can only scroll down to about
1025 rows and the scrolling stops. How can I resolve this problem as the
limitations on the number of rows in a list are almost infinite (65,000 or so
from what I have read in your discussion group.
Any help would be appreciated

Default Scrolling down my drop down box

A drop down box has got this limitations..

The limit is 32,767 items (from a range).

That's pretty big for a drop down list.
