DBR Dropw Down Search Retains selection after submit

[MaureenKLM]

FP Web with Access 2002 DB -

I have a DBR Drop-down SEARCH field in a form with other fields- which when
submitted enters info into an Access DB - all works fine.

I'd like to improve the process by RETAINING the value selected in the
Drop-Down List EVEN AFTER IT IS SUBMITTED and confirmation is made. I want
to allow visitors ti enter additional records with the same selection
ALREADY MADE in the DBR DropDown search field. They of course need the
option to make a new selection from the search/drop down if they do not want
to enter more records for the same/original selection. I hope this makes
sense.

Thanks for any help/direction you can provide!

Thanks Kathleen. I already use this good tip to ensure the selection in the
DBR Search form field remains displayed until "Submitted" - this works but
only while the page is still being originally displayed - once the form is
submitted and a visitor comes back (same session) to make another entry the
original selection in the DBR Search drop down is blank -

This is a good tip but it doesn't solve what I'm trying to do. I hope I've
been more clear above - any other suggestions?
