Populate Drop Down with url

    Hello,
    I would like to populate a drop down box with results I get from a MySQL call.

    Can I pass it through the url or is there another way?
    I have no problem passing values to text boxes through the url but am not having luck with the drop down control.

    @heatherbartolotta: You can only use the method of passing data as URL variables for pre-filling fields in a form, not for populating a drop down. (You could select one of the existing values in a drop-down menu this way, but not create new drop-down entries from scratch.)

    You would have to customize the Machform code to do what you want. It is a much requested feature, so perhaps it will be added to Machform some day, but there is no guarantee that it will be. :-(
