Please can someone help as i have been on this problem for two weeks and i know i'm close to getting it to work!

I'm using dreamweaver ultradev with ASP/VB but use server behaviours, data bindings as opposed to hard coding.

I have a dynamic drop down list and depending on what the user selects i want to display the corresponding record information on the same page.
I have created 2 recordsets, one which is used to populate room names into the list (i gave it the label room but value roomID).
The second recordset is used to display the associated record. I have used the roomID passed as a URL parameter from the list and created a variable with the runtime value of that from the selection list (Request.Form("select")) to bind them together and thus display the corresponding information. When i test the query it's fine but when i preview in the browser and make selctions from the list the corresponding fields do not change according to the selection.

can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong please?
I do not understand the coding and only use server behaviours, data bindings etc.

Hey what about me and my problem guys!!? :-(
 
My "UD Forum" message points at thread770-774272 as you are cross posting and it becomes hard to track the solution
