Hi
u use drop down list for state and city ? can u post ur insert query ? what u use for state and city in insert query ?
ddlcity.text for city
ddlstate.text for sate in insert query ?
if u use like above ,definitely it will save city and state,bcz it will get first text form dropdownlist.
so u have add dummy string(item) at first like "<---Select--->",i don't know how u bind items in dropdownlist,in design time or run time(dynamically) anyway u add one dummy string like Select,choose any thing.
And check drop down list before going to insert values like this in vb language
If (ddlcity.Text <> "<---Select--->") Then
If (ddlstate.Text <> "<---Select--->") Then
Else
EndIF
Else
EndIF
