What I do is this: Where I set up the form, for the first combo box, I fill it using the results from the query: "SELECT * FROM countries" and name that combo box "country_name". I set an event on this combo box to be "OnChange=form.submit();" For the second combo box, I use the query: "SELECT * FROM cities WHERE country=\"$country_name\"" So the combo box will be empty the first time into the page but each time they select a new country, it gets filled appropriately. I have some checks to determine where the form submission is coming from so I know whether or not to actually process the data. HTH Chris
