Hey there, I am having the same issue...also, when you create the pulldown dynamically, where is the selected value set to a variable?? Here is the code DreamW. creates for my pulldown: <select name="select2"> <?php do { ?><option value="<?php echo $row_rsFirstName['FirstName']?>"><?php echo $row_rsFirstName['FirstName']?></option> <?php } while ($row_rsFirstName = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsFirstName)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($rsFirstName); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($rsFirstName, 0); $row_rsFirstName = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsFirstName); } ?> </select> rsFirstName being just a recordset of all the firstnames in my database table. I just need to know where the form variable is being set up there...??? -thanks
