I had done that before, But here it goes again because I have learned a little bit more -> establish db connect -> drop down box stores result as a variable -> first initial query performed -> query array established -> drop down box 2 is saved as a variable -> variable 2 filters query 1 -> display one record at a time Here is what I have right now. It is error free, just doest work, all I have done change some variables and not even bothering with record set 2 yet Anything in bold is what I have played with since it would pull every record, just not filter and now does not work.
