hi ron, there are 2 steps to do this: 1. get data from mysql (you can use 'group by' in your select-query for doubles, maybe some kind of sort) 2. create your '<select>' for each mysql-row create your '<option value="$var1">$var2</option>' (if you like, add some logic for 'selected') close you '</select>' ciao SVEN Ron Allen wrote: > What I want to do: > Have a person input information about individuals into a database. > One of the fields in the database will be Unit. > On a form one of my drop down menu's will be Unit.
