Hello, I have a question concerning a script that I am working on. How do you create a drop down selection using the first entry in a database? Example Database: 
Company_Name|Email|URL
company1|email1|URL1
company2|email2|URL2
company3|email3|URL3

[download]
So, the drop down would include company1, company2, and company3. Currently, I've set up the program to have an entry field in which the the Company_Name is entered and the email address and url is shown...But I would really like to utilize a drop down instead. Here is the area that I would like to have the drop down: 
    #------------- Company_Name
    print "<tr>\n";
    print "<td align=\"right\">\n";
    print "Userid:\n";
    print "</td>\n";
    
    print "<td>\n";
    print $query->textfield(-name=>'Company_Name',
            -size=>20);
    print "</td>\n";
    print "</tr>\n";

Thank you
