dropdownlist autopostback problem

A

andy

Hi,

I have a form uses several dropdownlists to narrow a set of criteria.
( This is in turn used to control what is shown on a gridview. )
With each, the user selects an entry and then the next dropdownlist
uses that control's selected value to drive what it shows.
They're all set to autopostback.
Everything works fine except where one of the levels only has one
entry.
This seems to mess up the next level down and you see the wrong
results.
If you fiddle around and select another branch of the tree has more
than one entry in a list then go back it finds the data.
So all the control sources etc are OK.

Any ideas on a work round?

Code snippet:
