Hi,
I ve got a update form with a dropdown list ( values comming from database table "status".

In this form, the user could change his status (from the dropdown list)
Example : Mr X Single (status)
changing to maried (status) from the dropdown list

My dropdown list displays as well the different status from database table status but i want to display the actual status before changing in update form...

How can i do this?

Perharps, it's not clear?:-)

Hi Stephan,

Not sure if I read your post right but I think you want the drop down list to show the actual value from the database??

Try this - where User is your recordset and the language here is Javascript


<select name="Status" id="Status">
<option value="Married" <%if(User.Fields.Item("Status").Value == "Married"){%>SELECTED<%}%>>Married<option>
<option value="Single" <%if(User.Fields.Item("Status").Value == "Single"){%>SELECTED<%}%>>Single<option>
</select>
