| When I load a drop down list it automatically selects the first valuein the list. I tried doing this:Me.ddlCustomers.SelectedIndex=-1hoping it would make sure nothing is selected and that didnt work.I just want to make sure the user selects something so that the combo box triggers the ChangeSelectedIndex event. Right now if it has a value it doesnt run that code.I want the combo boxes to have nothing selected at first.I tried searching google with very little info :(.Thanks, |

| I think to do that, you have to add a "blank" item to the drop down, and test for blank everyplace. It sucks, but it works.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

| Michael has the right answer. Then just add a requiredFieldValidator, and set the initialvalue to -1 (Or whatever the value of your blank item is)-Chadhttp://www.clrsoft.comSoftware built for the Common Language Runtime. |
