Hello,

I have a ddl that displays cities for the user to select.
ID City
1 Toronto
2 St. John's
3 Halifax

If the user selects St. John's (ID =2), the ID 2 gets wrote to the database for that user..this is fine, however when the user comes back to the page and changes some other data and NOT the city, St. John's gets ID=1 in the ddl, so when the user writes to the database again, the city changes to Toronto (ID=1)...

HOW DO I GET AROUND THIS. I am programming in VB.NET and using a Access database. i have also assign the value in dropdown list in page load event

Please any help is greatly appricated.

Are you putting the binding code in an if not ispostback statement:?

if not ispostback then
   ddl.databind()
end if
