Thanks to all that contributed to this, I now have it working due to
the code below.

OK, here's Programming 101
String tables[]=req.getParameterValues("selectbox name");
boolean addComma = false;
StringBuffer createview = new StringBuffer(); <= More Efficient
for (int i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
if(addComma) {
createview.append(',');
} else {
addComma = true;
}
createview.append(tables[i]);
}
and viola, if you use createview.toString() you get "option 1, option
2,
option 3".
