Hi Volkan,

Thanks for the response.  However, that is not my problem.  I am already
able to get the values passed for the form fields.  The problem is that I
need to know what the form field name was so that when the page is
resubmitted, and there is an error, so the form redisplays, I want to
prefill the checks or radio options the user already selected.  The
difficulty is that I can't seem to write a dynamic IF statement in ASP to be
able to know which value was selected in the form field the first time it
was submitted.

i.e.

<input type="checkbox" name="MyField-1" id="MyField-1" value="1" <% If
MyField-1 =1 then response.write "checked=""checked"" %> End If %> />

Where MyField-1 is dynamically built based on what's in the database.  If's
the If MyField-1  that I can't seem to get.  :(

Hope that's more clear.  Thanks again,
Michele
