I'm with Mike on this one. If your variable is null, then the first item on the list is highlighted. If the variable has a value that is on the list, then that list item would be highlighted. That's the expected behavior, and I guess I'm not sure if you can override that. Can't remember, is Makeclick 0 based? If so, try a 0 rather than a 1
