Formulator does allow for external lists, from db's and such, though I have
not done it.  It was designed with this in mind.  Check out the Override tab
in your form field set-up, and then "items".  Dont forget your "external
validator", too.
Martijn has some good documentation in the help files of the install that
could help with this.
