Hello Justsomeguy

Thanks for your reply.  I'm afraid it's still not working correctly though when I change it to the following it will work...once through.  Then it fails a second time.  I realize you don't have my code so it's impossible for you to see what's happening.  Here's the current code:

        <% Do While i < 2 %>
        <%if pDiscussed(i) <> "True" then%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed<%=CStr(i)%>"  value="0" />
        <%else%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed" & <%=CStr(i)%> checked />
        <%end if%></td>

You will notice that I changed your code a bit by adding an ampersand to the second check.  I'm still working on seeing why that would work initially but then fail.  It doesn't work if I try to change both of the checks.  I'll let you know what I find.  Thanks again!

I have a need for creating checkbox names that go through a loop and are named by concatenating the name of the field with a number that is the loop index.

        <%if pDiscussed(i) <> "True" then%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed" & CStr(i)  value="0" />
        <%else%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed" & CStr(i)  value="1" checked />
        <%end if%></td>

I've done this before with text boxes and there are no problems but somehow with a checkbox it will not work.  I've even tried using an array (ynDiscussed[]) along with...

        <%if pDiscussed(i) <> "True" then%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed(" & CStr(i) & ")"  value="0" />
        <%else%>
            <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed(" & CStr(i) & ")"  value="1" checked />
        <%end if%></td>

but it doesn't like that either.

I can't even substitute in a number instead of the CStr(i) and have it pick it up - my code reading: <input type="checkbox" name="ynDiscussed" & "1"  value="0" />

Is this simply impossible or what am I missing?

Any help is very much appreciated.  Cheers!

Thanks Foxy Mod - I'll try it in the Classic ASP section.  Cheers!
