Set a drop down to a certain selection

[XP]

I need to set the selection in a drop down box (not a combo) to a certain
selection based upon a value in a variable:

dropdown1.Value = myVar

doesn't work; what is the correct syntax to set the selector?

Thanks much in advance.

What is the application? There are a lot of 'dropdowns' out there
with different object models. The HTML/DHTML Select object is one
such dropdown and it uses a 'selected' property to do what you
want ...

for each opt in dropdown.options
if lcase(opt.text) = lcase(myVar) then opt.selected = true
next

Other applications may use a different approach.
