Ok a dropdown comes up and you choose a person's name, then in another drop down you choose customer number,address,city,email and it is supposed to come up with the name, the data name and the data it comes up with the name and the variable name of the data but that's it.. does that help you ?

Can you explain to me exactly how you expect your arrays to work as they are currently? This will help you think your problem through. As it stands, your arrays make little sense.

Still having trouble getting my array's to associate, could someone give me a hint as to where I am going wrong?
