Saving data from a dropdown list in FormView??

Hi,

I'm using a FormView for data entry and it works fine so far. With one
exception: I replaced one of the automatically generated textfields by a
dropdown list and the value from that list does not get saved in the
database! I know that it's because it's missing in the
<InsertParameters> section but how do I reference it there!?

How do I tell the FormView to save the value from this dropdown list in
field x from my table? This has to be possible somehow ...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Jerome
