Slideshow controllable through combobox and buttons

Bear with me; I'm usually not programming much outside of HTML.

I'm trying to set up a slideshow (and text) in which the user can change the slides and text through a combo box OR by clicking the "Next" and "Previous" buttons under the slides. All of the information is stored in an Access database.

I have gotten the combo box and the buttons to work separately, but have no idea how to get these to work on the same page. I currently have 2 recordsets (one to fill the combo box, one with the SQL based on the combo box selection), and don't know if I need a third to work with the slideshow buttons? (Except that then I don't know how to specify which recordset the image and text should be coming from.)

For the combo box, I used multiple frames so that changing the frame with the combo box updated the frame with the images and text.

The slideshow page (with the working buttons) is currently running with arrays rather than accessing the database. I would prefer to access the database for this too if possible, but if not, I'd just like to find a solution that works.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
