Hi,
I've created a list box in ASP that's populated with the 12 months. Upon user selection, I will save the month.

        <select name="month" size="1">	
          <option value="3">March</option>
          <option value="4">April</option>
          <option value="5">May</option>
          <option value="6">June</option>
        </select>

The user can also modify the value in the future. Here's where my problem crops up.

How do I "select" the month name that was previously saved into the database?

The only method I could find was:

<%If mth = "1" Then%><option value="1" selected>January<%Else%><option value="1">January<%End If%></option>

Does anyone have a simpler method because I have many listboxes!!

Thanks in advance.

: <%
'--- Get the value from the Database. Now I had taken the value as static
DOBdd = "5"
%>
<form name="theform">
<select name="month" size="1">
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="4">April</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">June</option>
</select>
<script language=javascript>
document.theform.month.value="<%=dobdd%>"
</script>
</form>

You could also use a for loop for the months and then set an array with the months in it.

Dim month(11)
month(0) = "January"...-all the way to -...month(11)= "December"
<% for x = 1 to 12 %>
<option value = " <%=x%> "><%=month(x)%></option>
<% Next %>

That'll do it...
