SYMPTOMS
When you create a drop-down menu in a form and you add a choice, the value field is blank.



CAUSE
The Specify Value option is not selected.



RESOLUTION
If you want to specify a value other than the value of the choice for the drop-down menu, you must select the Specify Value option. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) To view its properties, double-click your drop-down menu.
 * 2) Click to select the choice item you want to specify a value for, and click Modify.
 * 3) Select the Specify Value check box, and click OK.

The value column for the choice item now contains the same text.

Click OK.

NOTE: The value of the drop-down choice is automatically submitted when a form is submitted. This value does not appear in the HTML but does appear in the form results.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
