Trying to get to the title attribute of a select box in appconnect

Is there a way to get the title of the option selected in a select box. I can get the value with no prob but I would also like the title text. The values are coded into the local table not stored in a database. I can see where I can get it that way. Is that the only way or can it be done from the manually entered values.

If you can’t I’ll put the values in a db table but wanted to ask before I did that.

Thanks again,
Rick
