Indeed.

The click could be interpreted as an action before you choose an option,
tricky crossbrowser-wize.

===========

And do not use event to find the value of the selection,
use this [and .value in the function] or this.value.

Try:

<select onchange='executeResult(this.value)'>
<option value="3101">Anderson, Harry</option>

==========

And do not disable an option but reject the result in your script:

<option value="X" selected>1. Select Members</option>

function executeResult(r) {
   if (r == 'X') return; // no action taken!
   ......
