Hi, Art,

There might be 2 reasons:
1. You rebind the dropdownlist when the page is posting back. try only bind the dropdownlist in the first load.
If not IsPostback() Then
    'Bind dropdownlist.
End If
2. I don't see any property name with selectedValue. try dropdownlist.SelectedItem.Value to get the selected value.

BTW, post ASP.NET related problems in DotNet.Framework.aspnet.

     I have a drop down list box that I populate with data
     
     I actually have two of them, one databound, one not. The problem is that I can't seem to get the system to recognize that I have actually selected something different than the default.
     
     In the forms edit button I call the code like the following example.
     
     Dim MyUsr As UserRec
     MyUsr = New UserRec
     MyUsr.MyValue = DDLListValues.SelectedValue
     MyUsr.Update
     
     Yet no matter what I select when running the code, the item selected at form_load is always saved as the value.
     
     Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
     
     Thanks
