Hi Brad -

Thanks.

Here is what I am doing. Yes, I do all the steps you indicate. Then on a
if not ispostback I run a routine "Populate form" that runs a stored
procedure and selects a partcular record from the Database. Let's say
that the DDL was a list of students, then for this particular record I
have the student name in the record that was retrieved. I really don't
need to shoew the DDList again on the form as I don't want them changing
this value once entered anyway. But I cannot get the student name to
display at all. Typically a simple ddlname.selectedindex.text =
strstudentname
would have done it - but this time it will not work because the DDL was
created from a DB to begin with (my guess) - In the above scenario, how
can I populate that field on data retrieval? Thanks
