If you're just going to delete them from the database then you can just put
your comma-separated list straight into your SQL query. SQL will let you do
this:

	DELETE FROM services WHERE ServiceID IN (3,4,5,8)

So all you have to do is to get your comma-separated string and put it in
the brackets after IN. Something like

	s = 'DELETE FROM services WHERE ServiceID IN (' + servicelist + ')'

and then execute the query using ADO or whatever.
