Hello I ask this before and didn't get any replies. Perhaps what I am asking doen't make any sense but I will try again.

I have a Work Order system where I add records to a data base and use drop down lists on a few fields. As work proceeds I have to edit the records and I want the same drop down list available with the value in the field selected on the list. If I selected "Waiting Files" when adding records I want the drop down list to be selected with "Waiting Files" when I edit the records.

<select name="status">
option value="Potential Job">Potential Job</option>
<option value="Waiting Files">Waiting Files</option>
<option value="Print">Print</option>
<option value="Finished">Finished</option>
</select>

I hope it is easy because I am just learning.
Thanks very much
