  Is it possible to limit the choices of a drop down based on the value of another control in the grid? TIA

  Use rowdataboud event

  If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
              Dim Ddl1 As DropDownList = CType(e.Row.FindControl("Dropdownlist1"),Dropdownlist)
        End If

  You can find another control like hiddenfield/label etc that bound to db. Use the value to generate select query or passing parameter to populate ddl items using.

  The sample code above for ddl inside itemtemplate, If you have ddl inside edititem use rowediting event to findcontrol.
