Greetings all again,

I have a checkboxlist control shown below:

Code:
						<td>					<asp:checkboxlist id="txtservice" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" repeatcolumns="6">
													<asp:ListItem Value="Seagull" Selected="False">Seagull</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Email">Email</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Mainframe">Mainframe</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Cubis">Cubis</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Banner">Banner</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="JDL">JDL</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Tiburon">OTiburon</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="iasWorld">iasWorld</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="Notary">Notary</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="VPN">VPN</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="VPSPagecenter">VPS-Pagecenter</asp:ListItem>
													<asp:ListItem Value="PCDOC">PC DOC</asp:ListItem>
												</asp:checkboxlist>

When I check more than one checkboxes, and click submit, only 1 value gets selected and submitted.

How do I ensure that all checkboxes that I checked get selected?

Thanks for all the help.

I'd be very surprised if that was the case. It's more likely that you are reading what was submitted incorrectly. Try looping through the items to see which ones were selected e.g.
Code:
    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        For Each li As ListItem In txtservice.Items
            If li.Selected = True Then Response.Write(li.Text)
        Next
    End Sub
