hi paul

yes, makes sense -- sorta

that's where you lost me

you need to do a loop of insert statements, so that each insert statement
looks something like

  insert into tblLookup
      (AreaID, FirmSizeID, LocationID, PositionID, TypeID)
   values
      ( 7, 1, 15, 2, 2 )

where each time the values are substituted into the statement where the
literal numbers are in the example above

if your form fields generate a collection of values like

CompanyID: 3
AreaID: 7, 17, 19, 31, 32, 45
FirmSizeID: 1
LocationID: 1, 7, 9, 13, 15
PositionID: 1, 2
TypeID: 2

then you will ahve to do some programming in the arrays to generate all the
possible and relevant combinations

make sense?
