Save text instead of ID (value)

Hi,
I might probably completely wrong and this is more a mm_insert-issue, but it's the dynamic dropdown extension that causes me to be in this situation so I'll write a line..

We have a page regarding registering to a martial arts competition. The weightclasses differs between the genders so we thought Dynamic dropdowns could be a good idea.

Dropdown 1: Gender (male/female)
Dropdown 2: Belt (Black, white, blue etc.)
Dropdown 3: Weight classes (74 kg, 82 kg etc. list depending on gender)

We have finally got it running och connected a formbutton and mm-insert to the form to save their choices in MS access.

Our problem is that it saves the ID's and we really need to have it saving the text (i.e. Male, Black, 74 kg instead of 1, 7, 24) choosed in the different dropdowns.

We would greatly appreciate any help/assistance to do this as the function right now is useless to us.

Best regards
Fredrik
