Hi,
Can Someone help with this. No values are inserted into the Db when i tried
to use the multiselect listbox.
I need all the values i select from a listbox to be comma separated and
inserted in the coresponding Db column.
Regards,
Charles

Since you don't say what language you're using, I'm going to describe what I
did in PHP.

I created the multi select list box. Then on my before insert and before
update events, I added a custom code event for each. I then used the PHP
implode function to convert the array into a comma seperated string. This
is what gets stored into the database. Then when I pull it back out, I
create a before show event for the list box and use the PHP function
explode to change the string to an array. Note: this code will also work
for check boxes too.

Do something similar. No clue if Asp has implode and explode functions
which will convert an array into a single string and the reverse. If so,
use that. If not, you can write functions that do what.
