of course we dont understand....please take a little time to detail your problem and youll get the help you need a lot quicker....

so you want to "Create a variable that represents a list" well if thats all you want to do then here it is.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;%
Dim myVariable
%&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

There you go, ive created a variable and it can represent anything i want.

.....expand a little!

What list, where does it come from, whats the variable for, and why should it represent the list, and where does the repeat come into all this......????

Cheers

ok, I'll admit, when I reread it I also thought WHAT?

Here goes again, this time ive had sleep.

I have a database table that has a list of names. I want to create a repeat region on my page representing my list of names.

My repeat region however needs to be inside another tag "MARQUEE"?!

&lt;Marquee&gt;name 1, name 2, name 3, name 4, etc... .... .... ... ..&lt;/Marquee&gt;

How do I create this dynamic list of names so that it would scroll accross the screen and be updated automaticaly by the database?

Understand now? I hope so, cause I still dont.

Cheers

Hello Rian, im not sure but this may get you going in the right direction...
this code is a tweaked repeat region, that will create a string (myString) that contains all your recordset rows seperated by commas and a space...

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> &lt;%'build a string with a recordset
Dim myString
myString = ""
While ((Repeat1__numRows &lt;&gt; 0) AND (NOT rsProducts.EOF))

myString = myString & rsProducts.Fields.Item("ProductName".Value & ", "

Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
rsProducts.MoveNext()
Wend
%&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Pop this after your recordset code then you just need to stick the cariable (myString) into your page....

If you need to create the tags &lt;Marquee&gt; as well then just build more strings.

Hope this helps you....If it dont then get back to me.

Cheers,
Leed.

Thanks leed, I'll try it now, I appreciate it.

Thanx leed, it works, I knew I was going in the right direction, the only thing was putting the recordset in one string.

Thanks again
