John, There a few good threads in the PHP-DB archives that will guide you through implementing your check box solution. Here is one of the most recent: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db&m=104610149123353&w=2 In the past, I've implemented check boxes for the purpose of deleting News items almost exactly as the link above describes, so I know it works - at least for me :). Searching on Google for checkbox + php will also yield dozens of good examples. Hope this helps.
