Presumably, you want to do this in the browser when the user makes the change, right? <select ... onchange="document.forms[0].revUserID.value=this.options[this.selectedIndex] ..value;"> You'll need to get rid of one of the two hidden fields, obviously. Or, do you mean that you want the same value in the hidden field when the page loads? In that case, you'd have to refer to whichever value was selected by default. If none is selected by default, you'd simply reference the first value from the query: <input type="hidden" name="revUserID" value="#listUsers_qry.userID[1]#"> The array notation is optional here, since referring to the field outside of a loop will return the first row's value anyway.
