Hi,

I need to set a value within departmentNumber. there are 4 values to select
from.
How can I select one of these values and make it the "active" one.

I need to do this with vbscript.

Thanks in advance

First, I don't know of a departmentNumber attribute. Perhaps you added this
to the schema. Next multi-valued attributes do not designate any of the
values as "active". I don't think the values are in any particular order
either. If you read all the values into an array, cleared the attribute,
then read the values back into the attribute in a desired order, then they
might stay in that order, although I have not tried. I think I need
clarification of what you mean by the "active" one.

thanks for the reply,

What I mean with the "active"one is de value that is selected.
the possible values are 677951, 670231, 673104 and 804787
677951 is the one to be selected.
I'm going to try with clearing the attribute first.
