Hi,
have form on asp page that recalls data from the recordset and populates all
the fields except the dynamic dropdown box that doesn't, just shows default
value. How do I make it populate based on the entry in the db?
Regards
Simon

As you write each option string to Response, compare the string you are
writing as the option's value to the data in the recordset. If They are
the same, write "selected" to response before closing the option's tag.
Otherwise, don't write "selected".

Bob,
have a problem, the way I did it hasn't worked should I be doing something
like,
<% if ACCESS_LEVEL(0) = true then response.write "selected" %>

I don't think this is very useful as it just places a selected in each
option, so probably the top one will have an effect.
<%
s = ~numeric result from database~

Yes, that's more like it. Have you tried it? Does it work? If not, write
the value of ACCESS_LEVEL(0) to Response and show us what it is.
