Hello,

Can anyone give me an exmple of how to retrieve the values of a multi-select combo from a form?

Copying each to an array would be ideal.


Thanks for your advice,

Michael
 
When a multiple select box value is sent, it comes as a comma separated list, so:

1,2,3,4,5, etc...

each being one that a user has chosen, leaving out the ones that they didn't.

so:

dim multipleValues, myArray
multipleValues = request.form("multipleSelectBoxName")
myArray = split(multipleValues,",")

would stick them all into a nice neat array.
