drop down box multiple select

[mickey]

Can someone help me out with something that is probably very simple?

I have a form set up for our members to update their profiles. Once they log into the site, they can go to the page and their info is shown in updateable text boxes. I have several drop down boxes where their choice is shown to the right of the box. So far so good. One of the boxes is set up so they can choose several options. They can make their new choices and click the update button and everything is fine. Their choices are shown to the right of the box. However if they click to update again, the info is lost.

What do I have to do different to save and display the info from a dropdown box that allows multiple choices?

Thanks,
mickey

Dave,
Thanks for replying. I will try to describe it further.

The form is submitted as soon as the button is clicked.

In this particular form element - it's a multiple select scrolling text box where people can ctrl & click as many answers as they need. The results are being returned using <% =fieldname%> to the right of the box. (Regular one line text boxes are just displaying the info to be updated within the text box.)

The info that is being lost is the stuff to the right of the box displayed by the <% =fieldname%>. It displays the first time they update. If they click update again the info is erased from the database and thus not displayed by the <% =fieldname%>

Hope this explained it better.

Thanks again,
mickey
