3rd try...receiving form field as select field

[acmeweb]

if i have a select box in the first form with the values "bob", "jim" and "alice". the user selects "alice" and submits the form. the second asp page has a form which should have "alice" selected, but with the option to then change that selection to "bob" or "jim".

the reason i need the ability to make a change from the original selection is that the second form may not be called from the first page...it may be called from somewhere else within the website.

i have set up 2 pages;

http://www.speakeasyhotel.com/formpass.htm

and

http://www.speakeasyhotel.com/formAccept.asp

with a sample, but cant get it to work.

if you have the answer, please give me an example. thank you.

this is what i have;
<%
FirstSelect = Request.Form(&quot;FirstName&quot
%>

<select name=<%=FirstSelect%> size=&quot;1&quot;>
<option>bob</option>
<option>jim</option>
<option>alice</option>
</select>

what am i missing?

On FormPass.asp
<select name=&quot;selName&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;>
<option value=&quot;bob&quot;>bob</option>
<option value=&quot;jim&quot;>jim</option>
<option value=&quot;alice&quot;>alice</option>
</select>


On FormAccept.asp
<%
selName=request.form(&quot;SelName&quot
%>
<select name=&quot;selName&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;>
<option value=&quot;bob&quot; <%IF SelName=&quot;bob&quot; then%>SELECTED<%end if%>>bob</option>
<option value=&quot;jim&quot; <%IF SelName=&quot;jim&quot; then%>SELECTED<%end if%>>jim</option>
<option value=&quot;alice&quot; <%IF SelName=&quot;alice&quot; then%>SELECTED<%end if%>>alice</option>
</select>

<%
FirstSelect = Request.Form(&quot;FirstName&quot
optStr = &quot;<option value=''>Choose One&quot;
do while not rs.eof
is rs(&quot;name&quot = FirstSelect then keyword = &quot;SELECTED&quot; else keyword = &quot;&quot;
optStr = optStr & &quot;<option value='&quot; & rs(&quot;name&quot & &quot;' '&quot; & keyword & &quot;>&quot; & rs(&quot;name&quot

%>

<select><%=optStr%></select>
