UPDATE error due to list box

Hello people,

Being reasonably new to ASP I’m struggling with what (I think) should be easy.

Is there a trick to updating a record in an Access DB when the values come from listboxes on a form?

I have a bunch of text fields on a form that update just fine but as soon as I add a list box (that gets it’s values dynamically from a lookup table) to the mix the record won’t update. A click of the submit button give you ‘can’t load page’ not even debugging information!

I’ve looked at the source for the code once it’s hit my browser and the <select> seems well formed. I’ve sent the SQL to the screen using response.write and it looks okay, too!

Thanks for any and all help/suggestions/drugs
Dave

without the code post my first guess would be if you're populating a list/dropdownbox via data , you're overlooking some single or double quotes in the data and html formatting, or possibly assigning the visible/value of the option tag incorrectly.

hope the info helps, other than that i'm blind without code.

Thanks guys,

The code so far is listed below. I think I've made it worse by fiddling with it (I HATE that!)

Again, any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.

Dave.

Can you also post:

1) The source HTML from this page as output by the browser

2) A response.write of the UPDATE query formed by the subsequent processing asp page

please...

looks like the page is working to me, you may want to put in a conditional statement in the loop for the list box population on if listboxRS(&quot;Currency&quot;) = CurrrentRS(&quot;Currency&quot;) then <option selected value=&quot;<%=listboxrs(&quot;Currency&quot;)%>&quot;> Etc...

Okay,

Thanks very much for having a look and trying, guys. At least I know it's not the code (whew!)

I'll keep digging and see what I can find.

Cheers,
Dave
