How to create a dropdown form in FP 2003 that is populated with data in an Access 2003 table

Q

quinn_b

I'm trying to create a dropdown form using an .ASP page in Front Page
2003. I would like this dropdown to display the items located in one
of my Access Database tables (assettype). Then when the form is saved
I want it to save the selection in a field in a separate table
(detailedrecords) of the same database.

How can I do this and thanks in advance!!!

I've tried creating a database connection and using the database
interface wizard connecting to the detailed records table, but it will
only save records to this table and will not use the relationship I
setup for the table for it's dropdown choices...

If you are using the wizards see

and

On the results page use the form filed results to crate you query for the DIW
