Look at the value attributes of each of your option elements ... which one
is selected when you submit the form? What is the value of that selected
option?

There's your problem, right there, at the value=. Where's the value? For
example, is RSFORM("level") is the value 1, the HTML becomes

<select name=level><option value= SELECTED>1</option>

so if the user picks 1 from the list (which is pre-selected so is highly
likely), the value is blank because you have not provided the value. The
change for this line should be something like

<br>ACCESS LEVEL:<br> <select name=level><option value=" & RSFORM("level") &
" SELECTED>" & RSFORM("level") & "</option>

I guess you're missing the point. If the form above is submitted with
the default selection,
request("level")
, or, more correctly (as you pointed out):
request.form("level")
, will return an empty string, in which case cint("") will raise a type
mismatch error.
