asptoday_discuss thread: Multiple Selections on Input


Message #1 by jlane <jlane@t...> on Thu, 20 Dec 2001 08:59:14 -0500
I have an ASP form that queries an MSAccess db and returns a dropdown

list of all trouble report numbers associated with a customer name. My

form creates this dropdown as a 'multiple select'. When this form is

submitted it is sent back to the database with all the entries in the

'multiple select' as one field delimited by commas. Is there an easy way

I can parse this info prior to it being written to the database so that

it create seperate records for each?



Here's how the data is written now:



Customer                    Trouble Report Numbers

Johnson Publishing, TR12345, TR54368,TR98746,TR987343





Here's what I would like to have:



Customer                    Trouble Report Numbers

Johnson Publishing, TR12345

Johnson Publishing, TR54368

Johnson Publishing, TR98746

Johnson Publishing, TR987343

Use the split function and then construct what you put in the database...



Dim laArray



laArray = Split(ComboName,',') 



For LoopCntr = 1 To UBound(laArray)



   TmpField = laArray(0) & "," & laArray(cntr)



   Write to database



Next



This is pretty close but check the sytax of the split...



Hope this helps...



Howard
