Hi there,
I researched this... but DMXZone had very little so far on answering it.

OK. I've written a CMS and one of the pages is an 'edit' page that updates a table called tblSkillProgrammes. One of the fields is fldProfile which is the name of a PDF document that can be downloaded from the details page.

Ok so there's list/menu box populated by File Genie in the update page. Everythings works fine but I want the current value stored in fldProfile to be SELECTED in the list/menu box. The current code looks like this but does not do the SELECTED thing. (File Genie folder name is 'Outline' & Recordset is 'rsProgramDet'):

<option value="<%=(Outline.Files("Name")%>" <%If (Outline.Files("Name") = (rsProgramDet.Fields.Item("fldOutline".Value) Then Response.Write("checked" END IF%>><%=Outline.Files("FileName"%></option>

DWMX does not really help out much when it comes to initially selecting the current value. I get a 'The chosen menu already has a Dynamic Menu server behaviour applied to it' message.

Any help would be appreciated since it seems there's a lot of guys out there with the same problem.

Thanks
JB Willers

Your code says Response.Write("checked", and that's for checkboxes. Change to:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>Response.Write("selected"</font id=code></pre id=code>
Also, for XHTML compliancy, you can do:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>Response.Write('selected="selected"')</font id=code></pre id=code>
