Ok i got 2 listboxes
1 where you select type based on that a second list box is populated i tried the standard dw jump menu and dynamic list box but problem comes in when you select on of the types u get the second list box filtered out BUT you cant choose the FIRST type from the First Listbox , i have worked around this by providing a "go" button so you can select the first record in the first list box and click go which works but is there any other way ?

Also on an update page how can you make the default correspond to the entry in the database if at all possible ?

ok, got rid of the go button like below , the only question , how do i automatically select the current record
