Combo box value

TNG
Hi,

Question, I use often a combo box on my ASP pages.
each time a form is submitted, the value of the combo box returns to the
first selection
But is there a way to avoid this and show always your latest selection ?

Thx in advance

Here's one way:

<%
dim selection, options
selection=reque st.form("cmb")
options="<optio n value='a'>A</option><option value='b'>" & _
"B</option><option value='c'>C</option>"
if len(selection) > 0 then
options = replace(options ,"value='" & selection & "'", _
"value='" & selection & "' selected")
end if
%>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post">
<select name="cmb">
<%=options%>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form></body></html>

Hi, Can anyone tell me how the initial value displayed in Combo Box is determined when a form is opened? I am loading the dropdown from one field ("CategoryName") of a table, with "ORDER BY ". The values in the dropdown are loaded in the correct order, but the initial value is not the first row of the dropdown as I expected. The field "CategoryName" is not the primary key for the table -- the PK is

Hi Everyone- I am trying to use a simple macro to set the value of a combo box on a form, and I can't get it to work. I have a macro with 2 actions: OpenForm and SetValue. I can open my form, but I can't get the macro to set the value of a combo box on the form that opens. I don't need the macro to look up any values, I just want it to set the value of a combo box.

I am used to VB6 but need to develop something in .Net. I need to create several bound combo-boxes which will use lookup tables to get their values. I created a form using the dataform wizard. As part of the setup, I specified a new dataset, which included the data & lookup tables. I also specified the relationships when required. I then added a combo box control to my form, following the instructions from

I was wondering how you handle active/inactive elements in a combo box. Let's say you have a combo box to select an employee. Joe Blow has been selected for many record however Joe has left the company and has been flagged inactive. If you have a filter on the rowsource like Where Active = True then Joe's name would not show up in the combo list. This would be fine if the combo is associated with a field that is null/0. It would not be...

I have a form which is bound to a dataset. I am filling the forms dataset on Form_Load event. On my form I have combo boxes which I am setting by running a stored procedure to return a datatable, which I then assign to the datasource. Some of my combo box datasources depend on values in other fields to limit the options. For example, I have a sales rep list that is limited by the customer selected in the customers combo box.
