When you say "update in to column2, column3..." are you referring to the list boxes or database tables? If it's the list boxes, are you wanting this to happen on the client side? Or are you putting the data all out at once? -----Original Message----- From: sam rumaizan [mailto:samcalc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 8:00 AM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: php-windows-info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: insert data in to columns base on the selection of the list box.
