This might be easier to use this SQL:
     UPDATE message_table SET status = 'A' WHERE mid IN (1,2,3);

The following might work for Cocoon (never used it):
     UPDATE message_table SET status = 'A' WHERE mid IN
(<xsp-request:get-parameter name="approved"/>);

You rock, Aaron! Thanks for helping this newbie out. Much more economical than looping with my function.

The (<xsp-request:get-parameter name="approved"/>) isn't working, but I'll try to see if I can use some xslt to parse the query string and replace a variable ($approved_values) in:

UPDATE message_table SET status = 'A' WHERE mid IN ($approved_values);

If I new some javascript, I could probably do it client side, BEFORE it was 
sent to the server, but SIGH...I'm a graphic designer with little coding skill.

Thanks again.

Daniel
