it depends on what your goal is if you want to have 1 purpose you need radioboxes and bot checkboxes.
if you have multiple purposes you need the have a unique name

Code:

<form>
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose1" value="" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose2" value="" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose3" value="" />
</form>

<form>
  <input type="radiobox" name="purpose1" value="1" />
  <input type="radiobox" name="purpose2" value="2" />
  <input type="radiobox" name="purpose3" value="3" />
</form>

asuming your situation is correct then you could use a do loop
here is example using an array

Code:

dim famname(5)
dim i
i=0
famname(0)="Jan Egil"
famname(1)="Tove"
famname(2)="Hege"
famname(3)="Stale"
famname(4)="Kai Jim"
famname(5)="Borge"

do while famname(i)<>""
  Reponse.write(famname(i))
  i=i+1
loop

Yes the collection technique you are using is for a checkbox array

ie you are using check box names like
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="1" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="2" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="3" />

To designate multiple checkboxes and collect them dyamically while still retaining multiple names for your checkboxes have you tried something like this?

----------Page with your form items

  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose1" value="1" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose2" value="2" />
  <input type="checkbox" name="purpose3" value="3" />

----------Page Collecting the Values

for i=1 to 3
  if request.form("purpose"&i) <> "" then
    response.write "value purpose"&i&"="&request.form("purpose"&i)
  end if
next

Hey,

This is very simple. When all the checkboxes share the same name during the form submit the checkbox name will have the values of which the check boxes are checked

For eg CB(1) value is 1,CB(2) value is 5 and CB(3) value is 6 In this user selected CB(1) and cb(2) then the request(cb) will have 1,5 as value

The code for this will be like below

<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="3" />
<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="4" />
<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="5" />
<input type="checkbox" name="purpose" value="7" />

ASP Code will be

<%
strPurpose =request("purpose")
strPurposeArray=split(strPurpose,",")

For i=0 to ubound(strPurposeArray)
response.write strPurposeArray(i) & "<br>"
Next
%>

The above code will get all the values and print in the screen.
