I have two drop down lists on one of my pages that need to be linked. One of them contains group codes and the other contains areas. Certain areas correspond to certain group codes. What I want is if a user selects a group code I want the area drop down list to show only the areas corresponding to that selected group code. Can this be done.

Cheers
Iain.

yes it can.
when a group changes put a filter on a dataview/datatable source of the areas ddl.

EDIT: if you wan't it without the postback you must use clientside JavaScript and filter it there.

Why not just use a stored procedure and pass in a GroupID ?

Certainly that would work, but if the data is reletively static, you can avoid the trip to the DB by caching the dataset.
