Alan;

Thank you for the attempt to solve this issue. No, AutoPostBack will not do it.

I should have added that the control is unbound. That might help a bit more.

This is not easy to describe in words. That is why I gave the ASP example. Let me try another explanation:

1. I want to use a ddl to display a specific piece of data related to a row of data.

2. If I go into Edit mode I want to fill the ddl with data from a table while retaining the original displayed data in the ddl. This will allow the user to make another selection. Right now if I fill the ddl from the table the record shown in the ddl is the BOF.

Does that help? I can try to elaborate more if necessary. It is simple to show someone what I mean but not too easy to put into words! :)

Tom
