Your page code looks like it's including a select box within an options tag.&nbsp;&nbsp;Not sure what you're trying to do there,&nbsp;&nbsp;but I'm sure it's not that.<br> <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

*chuckle* actually, I'm sort of trying to do that.<br><br>The VB code has the &quot;dynamic list selection&quot; while the &quot;select-option&quot; asp code is required to post everything to the database later on. I'm actually trying to get the &quot;select-option&quot; to be more of a &quot;dynamic-select-option&quot;. I'm just not sure where else to proceed in this.<br><br>Ideas? <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=
