Adding and dropdown boxes

Hi all,

ASPdb has an example (http://www.aspdb.com/properties/EDT-24.asp?aspDBBut_5241=aspDBEditAdd::0&aspDBUnit=_52 41&aspDBClick_5241=add#ASPDB_5241)
where we can add a record with 2 dropdown boxes.
Normally in the drop down we see the data from a particular table but to update or add a record we don't want to pass the data but the dataID! How can I accomplish that?

The aspdb example doesn't allow me to add a record or the change the partucular table.

I really searched through the site but didn't find the answer... :-(

Hi Christopher,

If I understand your question properly, you want to store an index instead of a "looked-up value". ASP-db Enterprise and ASP-db 2000 can do that.

See example 1 at:
http://www.aspdb.com/V2

That should help.

Mark.
