Wow I am really stuck on this one - I dont actually see the value in the drop down list when I view the page but when I do a View Source the values are populated. Can anyone help me out here!!!

Dim sql_insert
Dim drs
ConnectStr = "Driver={SQL Server};SERVER=" & db_server & ";DATABASE=" & db_name & ";UID=" & db_username & ";PWD=" & db_userpassword
data_source = "DSN=CaterDB"
sql_insert = "SELECT Community FROM Stores"
set conn2 = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn2.open ConnectStr

set drs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
drs.open sql_insert,conn2
%>

<tr>
<td height="25" width="166" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px">
<b>City*</b></td>
<td height="25" width="265" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px">
<select size="1" name="cboClientCity" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px" tabindex="3">

'''Code below
<option selected value="-1">Select One</option>
<%do while not drs.eof %>
<option value="<%= drs("Community").value %>"><%= drs("Community").value %></option>
<%drs.MoveNext
Loop
conn2.close
set conn2 = nothing %>
</select>

You don't see which values? some? all? The below code is a sample of the html result of your code, and it works fine. how does it differ from your "view source"?

Code: 
<html><body><table>

<tr>
<td height="25" width="166" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px">
<b>City*</b></td>
<td height="25" width="265" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: tahoma, helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px">

<select size="1" name="cboClientCity" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px" tabindex="3">

'''Code below
<option selected value="-1">Select One</option>
<option value="aaaaa">aaaaa</option>
<option value="bbbbb">bbbbb</option>
<option value="ccccc">ccccc</option>

</select>

</table></body></html>

'''Code below
<option selected value="-1">Select One</option>
<option value="aaaaa">aaaaa</option>
<option value="bbbbb">bbbbb</option>
<option value="ccccc">ccccc</option>


I do not see any of the values after the <option value="aaaaa">THE VALUE HERE (the value without the "") However when I do a view source on the web page I see the list is filled with the correct values...

Here is how the code appears different:

'''Code below
<option selected value="-1">Select One</option>
<option value="aaaaa"></option>
<option value="bbbbb"></option>
<option value="ccccc"></option>

So, "view source" shows this:
<option selected value="-1">Select One</option>
<option value="aaaaa">aaaaa</option>
<option value="bbbbb">bbbbb</option>
<option value="ccccc">ccccc</option>

But the dropdown looks like this:
[tt]+------------+--+
| Select One | |
+------------+--+
| |
| |
| |
+------------+--+[/tt]


?? All i can think of is CSS or javascript changing something dynamically?

Surely this isn't all the code and it really is at least wrapped in <form> tag and nested properly in (semi)valid HTML?
