I have created a Dynamic list box at www.motorcredituk.co.uk/search.aspThe problem I have is that it lists multiple entries for car manufacturer.
Is it possible to make the list box display just one entry for each manufacturer?

Use GROUP BY in your SQL statement.
Something like: SELECT Manufacturer FROM NameOfTheTable GROUP BY Manufacturer
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

Thanks Viktor but I still cannot get it to work.
The following is the code from the page.
<select name="mnuMake">
<%While (NOT RS_Search.EOF)%>
<option value="<%=(RS_Search.Fields.Item("make".Value)%>" ><%=(RS_Search.Fields.Item("make".Value) %></option>
<% RS_Search.MoveNext()Wend If (RS_Search.CursorType > 0) Then RS_Search.MoveFirst Else RS_Search.Requery End If%>
</select>
Where do I enter GROUP BY.
Your further assistance will be apreciated.
Thanks
Russell

Set up the Recordset used for the list/menu with an SQL statement like this:
RecordsetName.Source = "SELECT DISTINCT ManufacturerFieldName FROM YourTableName"
