Hello All,
I was wondering if I could have a drop down menu that read from a different sql database to populate the drop down. When the user adds a new record, would I be able to have it insert the record to a different sql database?

This won't be possible without generated files modification.
Take a look at BuildSelectControl function in include/commonfunctions.asp. You can modify this function to retrieve data from another database.

Thanks. Instead, I just created some views in my DB I am writing to, and pulled the data from the other DB. Thanks anways Admin.
