The default selected value in the ListBox of my search Record is always the same.
I have tried the following:
1. Checking the SQL query that retrieves and binds values for the Bound Column and the Text Column of the List Box
2. Right-click the ListBox, select "<SELECT> Properties", and remove the one entry ("Select Value") under Options.
Neither of the above worked - the same item is always preselected. I want the default selection to be the first item retrieved in my query.
I am using SQLServer and ASP 3.0.

Do you have anything specified in the "Default" property of that listbox?
What are all the ListBox properties?
What is specified in the "Data Source" property of your Search form?

These are the relevant ListBox properties:
Control Source Type=Database Column
Control Source=skillTypeNm
Data Source Type=SQL
Data Source=
select distinct skillTypeNm from Skills
order by skillTypeNm
Bound Column=skillTypeNm
Text Column=skillTypeNm
Data Type=Text
The rest of the properties other than Name and Connection are set to blank

This doesn't look right.
Are you sure that this listbox is inside a Search form? What about the "Data Soruce" property of your Search form that I asked above?

Sorry, Peterr, I thought you meant the Data Source of the ListBox.
I looked at the Data Source of the Search Record and saw that it was missing an "order by" clause. I added the clause and now the ListBox defaults to the first item like it was supposed to.
Thanks!

Hmm, I'm glad that this works the way you want now, however the real problems seem to be:
1. Your Search form's "Data Source" should be blank
2. Your ListBox "Control Source" property should be blank.
This is actually the main difference between a Search form and a Record form. The Search form is exactly the same as the Record form, except it doesn't have Data Source.

I set the Search Form Data Source to blank and set the ListBox Control Source to blank. This is the result:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'Cmd.Connection'
/Dev/Personnel_Skills_List.asp, line ...
I had to set the Data Source of the Search Record object back to something in order to get it to work again.
