The problem: 1) I build a multiple select box from data in a MS SQL 7.0 database table. 2) A person fills out the form and makes multiple selections in the select box 3) The person fills out the rest of the form properly except his password is too short and is caught by my validation routine 4) The form is returned with the password field in red for the person to make corrections. 5) Since the user made multiple selections in the select box, all selections are gone. 6) This code works if they only make one selection. 7) Any ideas on how to make it keep the multiple selections if other errors are caught in the form?
