I have made the two changes you suggested but am still not receiving a
result set. Let me repost my modified code.

<?php
$res=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT job_name FROM
oats_jobs_users_laborCode where user='$username' order by job_name");
echo "<select name=jobname> <option default='default'>Choose
One</option>";
for ($i=0; $row=mysql_fetch_row($res); $i++)
{
echo "<option value='$row[0]'>$row[0]</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>

And thank you for the mysql_fecth_rows command--it was helpful in other
places as well :-)
