Hi Jim,
I hope u r not just doing Request.querystring("test") as that will just give
u the one value...u have to run a loop for the selected items..and then
extract those values  in some local variables or session variables as per
your requirement.

used in html forms


Jim,
	I believe that your problem is with the script that you are 
submitting to handling the data, as you said it only uses the last 
values, so I think we can assume the following is occuring :

1. You pass test=123 and test=456 and test=789 to the code
2. First pass, the value of the test is set to 123
3. First pass, the value of the test is set to 456
4. First pass, the value of the test is set to 789

Thus, you are returned 789. I would therefore suggest that you look at 
the script that you are submitting this to and either recode it to 
handle multiples or post it to the correct mailing list / newsgroup for 
assistance.
