Hi Sue!

ASPToday.com has an article describing the process of setting it up from 
the Server side and then implementing it on the Client side.  This article 
can be found at:

http://www.asptoday.com/articles/20000418.htm

The end result is a set of arrays that are used to rebuild the second 
dropdown box based on the selected index of the first dropdown.  When I 
implemented a similar solution (before I found the article) I named my 
arrays based on the values in the first dropdown box.  This way I didn't 
have to worry about the order of the list in the first drop down list.

If you would prefer the code to this article, let me know and I should be 
able to dig it up.

HTH,
Eric
