Hi,

I have the following code for a Combo box:-

<select name="accesslevel" class="form">
<option value="0" <% if Clng(rs("accesslevel"))=0 then Response.Write " selected" end if%>>View only</option> 
<option value="1" <% if Clng(rs("accesslevel"))=1 then Response.Write " selected" end if%>>Requestor</option>
<option value="2" <% if Clng(rs("accesslevel"))=2 then Response.Write " selected" end if%>>Yield</option>
<option value="3" <% if Clng(rs("accesslevel"))=3 then Response.Write " selected" end if%>>Authorise</option>
<option value="5" <% if Clng(rs("accesslevel"))=5 then Response.Write " selected" end if%>>Administrator</option>

</select>

However I can use this only for numbers (Clng) but how do I get it to work for letters.e.g. If the options were ABC etc?

TIA
Steve

<select name="accesslevel" class="form">
<option value="0" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="0" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>View only</option> 
<option value="1" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="1" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Requestor</option>
<option value="2" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="2" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Yield</option>
<option value="3" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="3" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Authorise</option>
<option value="5" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="5" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Administrator</option>
<option value="A" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="A" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Option A</option>
<option value="B" <% if CStr(rs("accesslevel") & "")="B" then Response.Write(" selected") %>>Option B</option>
</select>

the & "" in the Cstr statement protects againsts the database value being NULL.. (because if it was, the Cstr function would bomb)
