thanks for the reply - I found that I was making it way too complicated... :laugh: Condango had the solution: to highlight from database to multiselect where SelectedDisplayValue is the value from database(eg SelectedDisplayValue= 3,4,10) For i = 0 To (objListbox.Items.Count - 1) If InStr(SelectedDisplayValue, objListbox.Items(i).Value) Then objListbox.Items(i).Selected = True End If Next

how are you authenticating your users? - If you are using a database to store their userID and password, you could use a script like this to signify that they are authenticated: ----use your database connection then check the form data against the data in your admin table like: Dim myPW, username,mystatus username=request("username") myPW=request("myPW") Set RSlog = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") RSlog.Open "Select * from Admin where username='"&myLogin&"' and password='"&myPW& "'", Conn, 2, 2 If not RSLog.eof or not RSLOG.eof then myStatus="IN" end if then lower in my page, where I want active links or not, I would code something like this: Response.Write ("<a href="yourURLorFilepath/" & RS("filename")& """>Link</a>") else response.write("link not available") end if Hope that helps. Happy coding

Have you tried setting the navigateUrl property based on the status of their login? If variable <> "your logged in value" Then Me.HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "" End If

I have a multiselect listbox that sends selections to the database field separated by commas - no problem there. No problem displaying the data. I need to allow folks to edit the form data so I have a formview with all fields bound but when I try to bind the multiselect listbox, I get an error (because the data does not match the listbox items) - So, I put the data into an array, intending to use the array values to set the selected items in the listbox. But I am a long time asp coder and cannot get my brain around how to do this with asp.net (VB)... I'm sure that I need to loop through the array values and compare them to the listbox values (loop within loop...) I cannot believe I am the only one out there who has had to set the selections of a listbox this way... Any help is MOST appreciated. This rediculous issue is holding up my entire project..... Thanks
