Mulitiple selects from dropdown menus

[tsp1lrk]

Hello,

I'm searching for a suggestion to my scenario,hopefully someone could help!

I have a DropDown Menu of Locations. When someone chooses a location, they have the choice to filter the results by choosing from a radio button, I'm hiding/showing differrent dropdowns each time they switch; for instance they can filter it by Region, District etc. The results are displayed in a datagrid.

Now There are checkboxes in the datagrid to make selections of what they want to choose. Currently, they make their selections and click "add to approp" this info. is transferred to a text field in the parent window. I want to be able to store these selections somewhere because if I choose say, 2 selections from one location, then change the location in the Dropdown and make additional selections, the original selections are gone! How do I collect everything the user selects and then when they click "Add to Approp" all the values are added to the textbox that they have selected? Help!!!

Thanks for any advice,
Lisa

Lisa, make a hidden field in your form and whenever a location is selected add it to it value so that the value of the field will be a string of locations separated by commas or dashes or whatever.

Thanks,
Can you supply an example in VB.net? This is relatively new to me, so I'm a little confused. This eventually has to go into a SQL database, so my next venture will be to get that string of info in a database. actually, it will have to go to another table, I just need to get those collected values somewhere.
