I think you want to try javascript for that but...
<%
Response.Redirect(Request.Form("selecter"))
%>

I can't help myself:
onchange="if(this.selectedIndex>0)document.location.href=thi s.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
Make sure the "onchange" bit until the ">" is on one line!

Thanks Marc - but is there a way that I can still use a button then
just when you select from the box.
Thanks
You need to have a default value for your link until the user makes a selection
and
-- you either need an autopostabck on your selector which will then change the link value
or
-- you need to use javascript to change the link value based upon the user selection.

Thanks Jon but I dont really understand what you mean - I think that
you are describing Marc's js version which I am using but I would
still like to have a button make it go to the next page, not just when
you select a option in the dropdown box.

Looks OK at a glance. In order to use Request.Form, your form has to
have been POSTed, you cannot use method="get" if you're going to use
that. If you want that link to be in the same page as the select
group, then you have to rethink what you're doing. ASP is a
server-side platform, and the <%= tag in the
work unless the form has been submitted and you're building a new
page.
It can be done in the same page, but it's done using client-side
Javascript (use a handler for the onChange event in the select group).
That being the case, it's off-topic in this group.

I guess it's not clear what you are trying to accomplish.
if you want the dropdownlist to send the user to another page, then on the post back, use
if len(Request.Form("selecter")) > 0 then
Response.Redirect(Request.Form("selecter"))
end if
if you want to populate the clientside anchor to give the user a button, then use javascript to get the selected value from the
dropdownlist through the onchange event.

Thanks
sure, but remember... this isn't a javascript group.
