I would think you want to add another choice for the user that is the  
stored data value.
Caution, what if tSal is empty ??

     (note: HTML ignores CR chars)
<SELECT name="Salution" >
<OPTION selected value="">-- Please Select --</OPTION>
<OPTION value="<?rev put tSal ?>"><?rev put tSal ?></OPTION>
<OPTION value=Mr>Mr</OPTION>
<OPTION value=Mrs>Mrs</OPTION>
<OPTION value=Ms>Ms</OPTION>

</SELECT>

You could add an IF to skip in the case of empty.

if tSal is not empty then put <OPTION value="<?rev put tSal ?>"><?rev  
put tSal ?></OPTION>

Hope this works for you.  At least this should get you close to the  
correct solution.
(not tested, but it looks OK )
