Key points of the sample:
sPath is used to construct the path to the database based on the home directory of the script. This means
that the database must be in the same directory as the script., otherwise, set sPath to the absolute path
of the database.
The database is assumed to a be an Access 2000 Database with a table Countries with a character field
Country.
Forms are assumed to point at the same script which created it unless action is specified.
The IF mCountry=... statement is used to insert the word SELECTED into the OPTION containing the previous
country value, should one have been passed in by a submit.
If you have problems running this script, your database drivers may be out of date. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/data for the current MDAC RTM.
