Which script is generating the error the dropdown dreation or the one to update the database?

In general though it means your select statement isn't returning any records and then you're trying to read from it which it can't, because it's not there.

FYI, you shouldn't hold the recordset object open like that. It's a huge performance problem. http://www.learnasp.com/advice/whygetrows.asp

Hi Jakyra

The remid was not being picked up in part of the script .... fixed and now working perfectly....
