The row data bound happens for every row in the gridview. Only one row is set in edit mode, so you can not assume you will find the dropdown in each of the rows as they get data bound. Hope that helps. Ben

Forgive my ignorance, but if a word file that already exists and I just want to add a couple things to the top of the page from a session variable, I can pull up a word document in crystal edit it and export it as a word doc? I REALLY appreciate your idea/help! Dave

sorry, Ill give you some output to clarify. On my machine: C:\foldername\worddocumentselected.doc On the webserver: worddocumentselected.doc (path does not exist!) Why am I losing the "C:\foldername\"? Thanks Again! Dave

Hi Dave, I think u want to select the rows if table contains all the values in your IN statement otherwise no row should be returned. If this is the case then unluckily there is no direct way to cope with this but fortunately you can accomplish this by SP. for example (pseudoCode) 1. variable boolean allValues 2. loop for all value in your IN statment 3. Variable rowcount = select count(*) from table where column = 'your value' 4. if rowcount = 0 then allvalue = false and exit loop else continue with the loop 5. end loop 6. if allValues = false returned no row else returned allrows for the values in your IN statement. Hope that works if this is what you are trying to explain regards Saud saud
