Thanks Richard and Edward, The naming of the list box as an array works great for passing the data around. Thanks. As for exactly what I need to do with the data I'm not exactly sure myself. PHP and mySQL is a bit new to me. I may be back for more help but for now thanks for the unbelievably quick and helpful replies!!!! Have a DAY!!!!

The values will be passed as an array to the next page. You then need to iterate over that array and pass the values into the database. There's plenty of info on how to pull this off in the archives on PHP.NET just search for select box or multiple select or the like and you should get plenty of hits with code and summaries and the whole smash.
