help with query

Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to the SQL arena and need a hand wrapping my mind around
something. First allow me to paint you a picture:

I'm developing an ASP page (not .net) for inventory management.

At the moment I have 2 tables.

1) ProductTable has the following columns: ID, Part, Description, Price and
Manufacturer (INT value)

2) ManufacturerTable: ID, ManuName

I have a form in which a user enters information on a new product and on
this form I have a drop down list which is populated via the ManuName table
which displays all available manufacturers from the
manufacturertable.manufacturer column.

What I want is that when a user hits save, it saves the info to the
producttable and takes the corresponding integer (1 to 1 relation) from the
ManuName that the user selects and places it in the
ProductTable.Manufacturer value along with the rest of the info. Can anyone
lend me a hand on this?

Thanks,
DaveDave
When the users choose a manufatory from the combo just save its ID ( I
assume you fill the combo with ID's of manufatures)

Create a stored procedure that insert the new data into Production Table and
one of the parameters give a ID of the chosen manufactire.
