Dear All,



Many thanks for the help with extracting data from <select> elements and 

radio buttons. I tried your suggestions and my page works (!!). 



However, as soon as my testers got to use it an interesting thing 

happened. As is proper, the database to which I am writing was locked when 

data from one user was being written. Once they had finished the databese 

was released and one other person could have their data written and so on 

and so on.



While data buffering is easy in VBScript, for reasons of speed and 

simplicity (I don't have to learn VBscript) I have developed my ASP pages 

with JavaScript. The problem now is to find a "buffering protocol" that 

works on the JavaScript pages.



Any help would be appreciated.
