You beat me to it, Paul.

I was drafting the same concept, just a different twist to take into
account the Response.Write:

RowCount = 0
While NOT RsTable.EOF

      Insert first two columns...

      With Response
            .Write("<TD>")
            .Write("<input type=""text"" name=""DateFrom" & CStr(RowCount)
& """>")
            .Write("</TD>")
            .Write("<TD>")
            .Write("<input type=""text"" name=""DateTo" & CStr(RowCount) &
""">")
            .Write("</TD>")
            .Write("<TD>")
            .Write("<input type=""checkbox"" name=""chk" & CStr(RowCount) &
""">")
            .Write("</TD>")

      End With

      RowCount = RowCount + 1

wend

Now, loop through the values and perform the action based upon those check
boxes set to "on" like

LoopCount = 0

While LoopCount < RowCount

      If Request.Form("chk" & CStr(LoopCount)) = "on" then

            Do something with
            Request.Form("DateFrom" & CStr(LoopCount))
            Request.Form("DateTo" & CStr(LoopCount))

      End if

      LoopCount = LoopCount + 1

wend

Hope this helps clarify a little more.

Vic:

This is easily accomplished by generating a unique Identifier as you
generate your
screen such as;

<%
RowCount = 0
While NOT RsTable.OF
%>.
.
.
  <input type="text" name="InDate<% =CStr(RowCount) %>" value="<%
=RsTable("INDATE") %>">
<%
RowCount = RowCount + 1
wend
%>

Wherever you do your insert/update you need to loop through each
request.form("InDate" & CStr(RowCount)) and process it accordingly.

I made a loop that creates a row in a table. In each row there are five 
columns. In column one is the name of a report which is displayed from a 
database. Column two has the catagory - again displayed from a database. 
Columns three and four have text boxes named datefrom and dateto 
respectively in which the user can input dates and column five has a 
checkbox - the value of which is the reportname. I do not need to write 
anything back to the database. I need to display the reportname and the 
dates on another page. 
My problem is that the textboxes all share the same names and so as well 
as listing lots of commas for the empty textboxes, I cannot tell which 
dates belong to which row. My database also contains a report_id. Is it 
possible to somehow insert the id into the textbox values per row or is 
there any way to give each table row a unique name or is there any way at 
all round this?

please please help.........

is there any way that I can put the loop (or the results of the loop) into 
an email using aspmail?

Now, loop through the values and perform the action based upon those check
boxes set to "on" like

LoopCount = 0

While LoopCount < RowCount

      If Request.Form("chk" & CStr(LoopCount)) = "on" then

            Do something with
            Request.Form("DateFrom" & CStr(LoopCount))
            Request.Form("DateTo" & CStr(LoopCount))

      End if

      LoopCount = LoopCount + 1

wend



Sorry to ask the obvious, but I don't seem to be able to adapt this piece 
of the code. After I have done the rowcount section, I then send the form 
to itself. I would like to check that any of the checkboxes are "on" and 
if so to write out the reportname, datefrom and dateto. I think I'm 
missing something in my code, but if anyone can make sense of it, I'd be 
most impressed:

chosen = request.servervariables("content_length")
if chosen <> 0 and len("chk" & rowcount) <> 0 then

loopcount = 0
while loopcount < rowcount
if request.form("chk" & loopcount) = "on" then
response.write request.form("reportname" & rowcount)
response.write "&nbsp;"
response.write request.form("datefrom" & rowcount)
response.write "&nbsp;"
response.write request.form("dateto" & rowcount)

end if
loopcount = loopcount + 1

wend
response.end

thanks everyone :-)

<%
Do While Not objRS.EOF

    Response.Write( _
        "<input type=""textbox"" name=""Report_" & objRS("ReportID") &
""">")

    Response.Write( _
        "<input type=""hidden"" name=""ReportID"" value=""" &
objRS("ReportID") & "">")

    objRS.MoveNext

Next
%>

will create textboxes with the ReportID built into the name, similar to:

<input type="textbox" name="Report_1">
<input type="textbox" name="Report_2">
<input type="textbox" name="Report_3">
<input type="textbox" name="Report_4">

Note also that I created a hidden input element who's *value* (not name)
contains the corresponding reportID?

Now, in the next page, we can loop through all the ReportIDs, and look at
the corresponding textbox:

<%
If Request.Form("ReportID").Count > 0 then

    For Each x in Request.Form("ReportID")

        Response.Write(x & " = " &  Request.Form("Report_" & x) & "<br>")

    Next

End If
%>

Cheers

: I made a loop that creates a row in a table. In each row there are five

: Columns three and four have text boxes named datefrom and dateto

: checkbox - the value of which is the reportname. I do not need to write
: anything back to the database. I need to display the reportname and the

: My problem is that the textboxes all share the same names and so as well
: as listing lots of commas for the empty textboxes, I cannot tell which
