Dynamic drop downs

September 1, 2004 by Carl Grint
You can create two drop down menus, driven from the database, using two recordsets, the second one filtered, on a variable passed from the first drop down menu. You would make each menu separately, creating a form around each drop down. The first drop down would point back at the same page, and pass a variable, that would filter the second menu's recordset. Place a Show Region if Recordset is Not Empty around the second form so it only appears once you have made a selection from the first menu. If you would like more details use my contact form, www.cgw3.co.uk/contactus/

this is formatted a bit better ;o)
