asp_databases thread: records in a drop down menu


Message #1 by "Arsalan" <arsal21@y...> on Mon, 30 Apr 2001 14:41:08
i am calling the records of a field (of Access Table) in a drop down box.

The problem is that i want to display a single record only once, no mater 

how many times it is repeating in the column of the table.

how is it possible ?

records u want only once..

Hi Arsalan,



try using "SELECT DISTINCT fieldname FROM tablename" as youre SQL statement.

This will ensure only unique values are returned. then step through the

recordset to write the drop down.



Hope this helps,

Jason
