I just got my page to work, but there still is a problem. My drop down list is not populated by the EmployeeID's that it should be. Rather, "System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord" appears muliple times. Any clue how to get the EmployeeID's to show?

Not without seeing your code. Can you post it?

And one way to not have something appear multiple times even though it might be stored in multiple records is to use the word DISTINCT in the SQL statement:

strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT EmpID FROM MyTable ORDER BY EmpID"
