In the name of Allah the most Merciful Beneficent

I m facing problem in retreiving previously selected items in a multiselection list. Say, I selected four items from a list of 6 but when I retreive the rcords from database for updation I find only one highlighted. What I want is : all the items previously selected should be highlighted at updation.
I have tried Split and arrays but it's not working.

PLease help if any of you can,
Regards,
:D

May I ask you for an explanation of this statement?:

Re your problem:
You should be posting your problematic code. You will not get far here asking people to write code for you. Perhaps if you posted the code that resulted in this statement:

'I have tried Split and arrays but it's not working'

Someone would correct your incorrect code. Instead, here is a working example of how you would achieve this objective (cut directly from one of my working pages):

Get the master list for the select box (groups in this case):
sql = "SELECT ID,shortName FROM groups where ..."
set getInfo = conn.execute(sql)

Get the options that should be selected for a given user (userGroups has a one to many relationship with the groups table - A user can be a member of many groups):
sql = "SELECT gid from userGroups WHERE uId = " & cint(getEditInfo(0)) & ";"
set getTest = conn.execute(sql)

Here is the looping conditional multiselect box:

<% if not getInfo.EoF Then %>
       <select name="gId" style="width:151" multiple size="5">
<% do until getInfo.EoF %>
          <option value="<%= getInfo(0) %>"
          <% if edit = true then
                getTest.moveFirst
                do until getTest.Eof
                   if cint(getTest(0)) = cint(getInfo(0)) then
                      response.write " selected "
                   end if
                   getTest.moveNext
                loop
             end if%>><%= getInfo(1) %></option>
<% getInfo.moveNext
             loop
    else %>
        <I class="note">No groups found</i>
<% end if %>
