Yes I understand.
Here's what I have:
Dim titleprefix as string
titleprefix = CheckNulls(Rdr("Title")).ToString()
titleddl.SelectedIndex =
titleddl.Items.IndexOf(titleddl.Items.FindByText(titleprefix))
response.write(titleprefix)
Now I know I am getting the titleprefix from the database, but it is not
getting selected in the DDL.
Thanks.

Anna,
That's everyone's point.
If you have a ddl with titles, and one of them is not "MD" then its not
going to work.
dropWhatever.Items.FindByValue("MD").Selected=true
If there is no "MD" in dropWhatever it will throw an error
Also check one more thing. Make sure AutoPostback = True on the first
ddl.
Hope that helps,
Ali

Well I just have a DDL with titles (Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms). Whatever I put, I
get that error..
