inserting birthday drop down list to my database

[eluser]RalphLeMouf[/eluser]
Hey there -

I have five required fields in a update query and am inserting them fine. I am very stuck on my birthday dropdown. I had it inserting at one point but when I tried to add validation rules something came undone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks so much in advance
