The issue is, that the selected value(s) from the list is/are the index number of the selected item.... (e.g. 1 = Item1, 2=Item2, 3=Item3) so that the results of the selection would most probably be passing (1,2,3).

To display the text, I would think that I would have to create a method that would iterate through an (Array?) and execute a SQL statement or statments that would retrieve the appropriate "Text" for the submitted values, from the database table.

I am certain that I am not the first to do this... is there any code examples that anyone would be willing to share... or are there other questions.... Would appreciate any or all help !

Thanks !!!
