    I’m sorry, Pam, but “does not work” is no help to me at all.

    What does it do that you think it should not?

    What are the error messages, if any?

    Thanks!

    Sorry i should make it clearer,
    the code should produce a drop down list as part of selection criteria for a contact list, some thing like
    `Department’ with a drop down option of Firstname/Lastname and a Submit button.

    Rest of the Html/php code works fine with in insert_php giving me a table of contact list.

    Thank you in advance.

    OK.

    If you’ll put your code into a stand-alone PHP page and type its URL into your browser, you’ll find the errors.

    <?php
echo "<form>";
echo "<select name="Department">";
echo "<option value="First Name">First Name</option>";
echo "<option value=’Last Name’>Last Name</option>";
echo "</select>";
echo "<input type=’submit’ value=’Submit’>";
echo "</form>";
?>

    When it runs OK in the stand-alone page, it should run OK with Insert PHP. It’s a great debugging technique.
