RE: In significant need of help.

Ron,

Are you trying to show a list of information indexed with a key.

There are really two ways to do this:

If you just have a list of information you want to show, use a list
If you have a keyed list of information use a map. Maps use another object
as their key.

If you need to show a group of records by date, let the customer select the
date, then select everything in that date range from the database and
redisplay

I'm completely lost at this point.  I wish I could send a screenshot to 
the list to explain what I want to accomplish, but I'll try to with words. 
 Here goes:

I have a browser window that displays a customer's information.  Below the 
customer's information I have a form that shows the bulk garbage details 
for that customer.  We want the user to be able to use a drop down box 
that shows the bulk garbage received date in it, and use that to navigate 
thru my record.

I've created and loaded a bulk garbage object that I've loaded into a 
vector that I'm using on the page. However, I don't know if this is right 
or wrong, and I can only access the very first index of the vector to show 
the  record.  I need to know what should I use here to make this easy to 
accomplish?  Hashtable, vector?  And once I have it loaded, how will I use 
the drop down box selection as my navigation?  TIA,
