Need HELP! setting values in dropdown in datagrid

Hi to all,

(I apologize that I posted this in dotnet.language s.vb.controls, but I NEED
and answer quickly, please)

I have an 'employees' datagrid which contains company numbers as labels.
When the user clicks 'Update', I
have dropdown lists as edititems for the company numbers and populate them
from a company table so that
the user can change the existing company number. The problem is that the
dropdowns show the first value
from the company table and I want it to show the value from the employee
record.

I tried to set the SelectedValue of the dropdowns this in datagrid
EditCommand, but the dropdowns are not accessible there. Can anyone tell me
where I can access these values?

I hope this was not tooooo confusing.

TIA,
Marc Miller

We have web site that used the IIS ResKit tool MSWC.PermissionChecker to check file permissions.
