Ok, I just tested your code and it worked just fine on my system. I would then take a look at the value of your variables, Client_Education and qClient.Education.
PS. What is the value parameter in your select statement doing? Select tags don't use a value parameter, just the Option child-tags. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
