Hi, Thank you very much for your assistance, but I am already able to display the checkboxes. I guess my question wasn't very clear. I need to know how to redisplay the checked boxes a user selected in a previous session. So if there are five check boxes and the user selects three of them and submits the form, how do I automatically check the three boxes when the user returns the next day? It appears that returning a string array with the users selections is not working.
