Hi Robert, As a suggestion, why not put your counties in an array (are you taking them from a recordset? If so, same idea applies) and use foreach() to iterate through the array, building the select list. When $county equals the current value of the array, include " SELECTED" in the select HTML you are building. One if statement should handle the situation nicely.
