Hi Jeff. For this you'll need to use javascript and hidden form fields. I've had to do this in a few places in my CMS and it's not too difficult. The Javascript will be something like this: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // x is the select list in question function setEmail(x) { var users = new Array(); <?php $count = 0; foreach ($users as $id=>$user) { echo 'users['.$count.'] = '.$id.';'; $count++; } ?> for (i=0;i<x.length;i++) { if (x.options[i].selected) hiddenidfield.value = users[i]; } } //--> </script> One thing to make sure of is that you are looping through your results in the same order both when you create the javascript array inside the function, and also when creating the select list. Then in your form have a hidden input as follows: <input type="hidden" name="id"> And for the select list, use the onchange attribute to set the value of the hidden input field (onchange="setEmail(this);"). You'll obviously need to update hiddenidfield.value with the proper reference to this input in the elements collection for this form. I'm writing this off the top of my head, so if there are any problems let me know. It should be pretty close though as I had to do just what you asked a few times recently.
