access & asp, or php?
this is the php forum, here is a php solution to the question asked, no database mentioned in the op, what are you actually looking for
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2. if($_POST){
  3. echo 'submitted were<br>';
  4. foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
  5. echo $key." value ".$value.'<br>';} }
  6. ?>
  7. <form action='<?php echo $_SERVER['php_self']; ?>' method='post'>
  8. <input type='checkbox' value='yes' name='1'> checkbox 1<br>
  9. <input type='checkbox' value='yes' name='3'> checkbox 3<br>
  10. <input type='checkbox' value='yes' name='5'> checkbox 5<br>
  11. <input type='checkbox' value='yes' name='7'> checkbox 7<br>
  12. <input type='checkbox' value='yes' name='9'> checkbox 9<br>
  13. <input type='radio' value='yes' name='10'> Yes <input type='radio' value='no' name='10'> No<br>
  14. <button TYPE="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onclick="return(confirm('Are you sure, \nthis is such a trivial example'));">Submit</button>
  15. </form>

Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it
If at first you dont succeed, join the club
Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

Please mark solved problems, solved

And you want to do this without even knowing how to create a form,
Before you begin, you need to read a lot, and practice on a dummy dataset
you need the details on how to connect to your database and pull information from it, and you want relational logic to select the best matches
this is not a trivial exercise
'best match' is a very difficult logic to implement

first of all i want to thank you for your reply so far but i have actually conneted to my mc access database and pulled all the information i need from it and have also created a form but it doesnt do the job for me. All i want for example is if a customer says they want a package btw 30 - 50 pounds i want if to display packages only btw that price. i have tried several if statements but they keep giving error.

Now we're closer
and the fix is probably easy (not maybe for you and me but there are code gurus)
Post the wrong code in [code=language] tags, and 99% likely someone will be able to debug the error
if there is a result, the form is likely ok
if there are wrong results, the back end select function needs some tweaking
something like a wrong expression used to select $price < 50 $price > 30
