databound Drop Down List not changing on new selection

Hey everyone. I am hoping you can help..

I have a drop down list that I use a databind using a list collection,
However it populates the data I want, but when a selection is made
the change event is fired but the selected index is still the inital index

Here is the code on page load that I use that populates the dropdown. on selection of the drop down it then populates a Gridview..it works fine if you are admin, but when the selection needs to be populated by the list item it makes the selection the change event is fired but it then keeps the initial value.. any help would be appreciated as I am new to the list item thing
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ddLOC.SelectedValue = Request.QueryString("loc")

If Not (Page.IsPostBack) Then


If Not Session("User") Is Nothing Then
emp = CType(Session("User"), Employee)

If Not emp.IsValidated Then
Response.Redirect("~/perfAppraisal.aspx", True)
End If

Else
Response.Redirect("~/perfAppraisal.aspx", True)
End If

ddLOC.DataSource = Location
ddLOC.DataTextField = "Loc_Name"
ddLOC.DataValueField = "LOC_NBR"
ddLOC.DataBind()

If Not emp.Level = Employee.PermissionLevel.Admin Then
Dim items As ListItemCollection = New ListItemCollection ' Copy to temp list

For Each item As ListItem In ddLOC.Items
If emp.Locations.Contains(item.Value) Then
items.Add(item)
End If
Next

ddLOC.Items.Clear() ' Empty DDL

For Each newItem As ListItem In items
ddLOC.Items.Add(newItem)
Next
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks in advnce
