it's obviously your program, but having hundreds of items in any type of
drop-down menu is not really a good thing from a useability standpoint. that's
just to much (non-trivial) navigation to put on the user. popping down the
list and scrolling (one way or another) way down through a list that if for
some reason goes away (something happens, they get i.m.'d etc. etc.) they lose
their place. not knowing you're exact situation it's hard to make suggestions,
but looking into redoing the process of selction, maybe categories or
something would help. failing that a 1 column list may be preferable as it
would prevent the user from losing their place and could allow them to use
search-by-typing and other such navigation helpers.

only my opinions.
