making selection in drop down

Hi All, How can I force a selection on a drop down from a value in a database? I have a drop down that contains locations. These locations are contained in a table. When a search is completed the results are displayed and I want to be able to use that same drop down and just force the selection to the appropriate location. alex hogan ************************************************************************************* The contents of this e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
