I am trying to use the for statment which i can do it, but not the way i want. What I am trying to do is output a list of numbers descending. I know how to use it like..


<%
for i=1910 to 2001
%>
<option><%=i%></option>
<%
next ' i
%>

Which would list
1910
1911
1912
1913

but i want it to be in descending order

example:
2001
2000
1999
and so on.

what do i need to do to get this done?

LBound() is used with arrays.

I'm wondering redbrad, why not count from 2001 to 1910 instead?

<% for i=2001 to 1910 Step -1 %>
<option><% =i %></option>
<% next %>

redbrad, that's not the code I posted.
You need to be counting from 2001, not from 1910. Look at the code again.

That code you just posted is going to start counting from 1910 and backwards, so of course it wouldn't work.

Step is used to control the increment used when the command is looping between the first and second numbers specified in the loop. If your couting form a larger to smaller number than use a negative step, for counting up it would be a postivie number
