Woops....sorry, was in .NET mode.
You are trying to get this in CLIENTside code so this isn't really the best
place but it should be something like
document.formname.cdoProject.value
At least I thought so.... I'd suggest hitting a clientside/javascript group
though
If I misread and you are trying ot get this serverside them just make sure
your dropdown uses the ID as the value and the NAME as the text for the
dropdown/select. Then just use Request.Form("cdoProject") to get the value.
