Drop down selection is not refreshing the page data correctly

Question

I have a drop down menu for a CREATE DATE. The record is based on a Identification ID. This identification ID can be in our system for multiple CREATE DATES. The CREATE DATE drop down is populated by checking how many different CREATE DATES there are for a particular identification ID.
The last identification ID looks great. It populates all the fields. However if you select an older CREATE DATE, the page does not get populated with that CREATE DATES data. The whole page even looks different. It looks like an older version of the page before I added all the new fields.
What is causing the older CREATE DATES not to look like the current create date.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you!!

Thank you for your reply. Here are some details. Please let me know if I am not giving the information you need.
One page item called CREATE_DATE displayed as a Select LIST with submit. The source type is a database column called ID_IDENT. The ID_IDENT is just a
The List of Values is: Named LOV is the Select Named LOV. The list of values definition is a query against a table in our database:
select CRE_DT, ID_IDENT from IDENT_TABLE where UNIQ_ID = :P3_UNIQ_ID
ORDER BY CRE_DT DESC
This is the date on which the ID_IDENT data was created. The date is displayed in a pull down menu, which allows you to select from a list of available "as of" dates when viewing the data. Only data on the most recent ID_IDENT record may be manually altered.
I have a UNIQ_ID = '34587443'. It acutally has records in the database with that UNIQ_ID. The only difference is the create date. On record of 345778 was done on 10/1/2008 and the current date 10/13/2008.
I see these two dates in the CREATE_DATE pull down menu. This is fine. The drop down orders the dates by DESC so I have the lastest date on top fo the pull down.
If I want to pick the date of 10/1/2008, I need go into the web page, open the Create Date pull down and select the older date.
When I pick the older date 10/1/2008, the page does not look the same as the defaul tor oldest time date and numbers.
The page is different and most of the data on the webpage is there.
What should have happened is that I choice the newer date from the drop down, the page refreshes with the data from 10/1/2008
and all the parameters are displayed from the date of 10/1/2008. It isn't only part of the fields are being populated and the page itself doesn't refresh to the look of the original page. Thank you.
