Hi All,

I'm very new to ASP and am now working on an existing site that is
written in ASP. I'm trying to populate a dropdown box with the
results of a query. There is current code that does this but it
populates with team name whereas I want division name.

The database is set up as:
League - connected to - Division - connected to Team

I want to be able to have someone choose a league and then on the
next page populate a dropdown with all the divisions in that league.

Here is the working code.

<%sql = "SELECT division.name, team.id, team.name as team, [team-
division].season
from (([division-league]
inner join division on division.id = [division-league].division)
inner join [team-division] on [team-division].division =
division.id) inner join team on team.id = [team-division].team
where league=" & thisleague
cmd.CommandText = sql
rs.Open cmd, , 1,1
do while not rs.eof
seasonid = rs("season")%>
<option value="<%=rs("id")%>"><%=rs("team")%> (<%=rs
("name")%>)
<%rs.movenext%>
<%loop
rs.close%>

I have tried many things but I think just changing the query as
follows, should work but have had no success.

What are the symptoms that tell you that you have had no success?
Don't forget, we have no access to your data so we can't run this
code ourselves to see what symptoms you are getting.

<%sql = "SELECT division.name, division.id from [division-league],
division
where [division.league].id = division.id
and league=" & thisleague


You should supply a few rows of sample data (in tabular format),
followed by desired results from that sample data (also in tabular
format), followed by the bad results this query is giving you.


Hi Bob,

Thanks for your response and I promise I won't crosspost anymore. Here
are more details regarding the problem:

1. It is an access database.
2. The problem is that no data appears in the dropdown. The box is
there but there are no values in it.
3. Here are the tables I'm using:

<%sql = "SELECT division.name, division.id from [division-league],
division
where [division.league].id = division.id
and division.league=" & thisleague

thisleague is a variable that equates to 145 in this case.


Have you verified that with

Response.write sql

?
