Hi,
here is my scenario.. I'm working on this app.. and the problem arised when I was dealing with 3 tables.. I have a student table, a projects table and I added an intermediate table to join student and projects named studentprojects which has studentid and projectid. what I'm trying to do is, assign/de-assign projects to students. I'm passing the studentid from this page to the project assignment page there I'm selecting all records where studentid = url parameter. now I have all the projectid's now how do I select the rows from project table where it matches all the projectid's? I think I need to use a loop.. but not sure..

any help would be appreciated

I hope I'm following correctly, but it sounds like you just need another Recordset, grabbing the projects from your <i>projectID</i>.

I assume you are:
<i>1.)</i> have a page where they choose a student, then it...
<i>2.)</i> passes student ID to the assignment page, and it lists all projects for you to select multiple (form list/menu?) projects to...
<i>3.)</i> INSERT INTO studentprojects (table) multiple rows, correct? am I leaving anything out? (I'm tired today) <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
