Hi Linda,
To add parameters you'd use a form - something along these lines
<form method="get" action="page.asp">
<select name="ProductId">
<option value="1">Widgets</option>
<option value="2">Grommets</option>
etc....
</select>
</form>
Then you can retrieve the paramater with
<%
intProductId = request.querystring("ProductId")
%>
