Hi all,
I want to recreate the functionality on this page:
http://www.qs-csa.co.uk/subpage.cfm?pageName=projects
By having a drop down for categories of projects as well as a dropdown for selecting the individual project.
Firstly, is this possible using cmsms? And if so what module would i use to achieve this functionality?
Many thanks,
Karl.

maybe the Products module? I realize what you're doing not ecommerce, but Products allows categories/subcategories/hierarchies, so perhaps it could be adapted for your purpose.
CompanyDirectory seems the obvious choice, but I'm not sure it will do exactly what you're looking for.
You could also use one of the "module maker" modules to make your own custom module to see if you can come up with a better solution.

Catalogue-like Module Maker is probably your best bet. Using that will allow you to create a module to suit the exact kind of data or info you need to display. Note that you might want to use the old version rather than 2.0.X, because the newer one, although better, is only a beta and doesn't fully support hierarchical behaviour + pretty URLs (if I remember correctly).
However, in order to get it to behave like the page you linked to, you'll most likely need to do a bit of AJAX or conventional forms to filter and fetch the projects. Fortunately CTLModuleMaker has a custom query feature, which might make that job easier. I'd suggest combining it with jQuery to make a little AJAX-powered template.
