I am trying to set the selected index of a Record form's list box (in insert mode) to equal the query string value instead of being set to nothing.
(the user has already selected the desired value from a previous page and that value is preserved in the querystring. i don't want the user to have to select the value again.)
the list box pulls values from a database. the bound column is an integer, the querystring value is an integer. i have tried the beforeshow events of the listbox itself, and the whole form, setting the form.listbox.value = request.querystring("ID") there but to no avail. i have also tried it in the form's Class_initialize code without any luck.
any ideas??? please! thanks!

FYI, I moved a hidden field into the form that had its value set by code expression to = Request.querystring("ID") but with no data source (so that it does not store in the db) and set the form.listbox.value equal to the value of that hidden field, in the list box's beforeshow event.
it works! Thanks!

Set the Listbox data source Where parameter. Make its type "Session" and
it's Value "theparamname". Maybe need the default parameter value set to
'0' or whatever works best for you.

::Timeout::
Not a Session, a query parameter. Set the Type to "URL".
