Sorry, but this is just not working for me...

The first bit is fine and produces the display I need. I have a table of
stories and wish to allocate them to a page...I list the stories and
have a selection form to choose a page:

<@ROWS>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
        <TD>
                <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN Name=EditorialIDArray VALUE=<@COLUMN
'JobEditorial.ID'>><@COLUMN 'JobEditorial.ID'>  </TD>
        <TD>
                <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2"
COLOR="BLACK"><B><@COLUMN "JobEditorial.Tagline"></B></font>
        </TD>
        <TD>
                <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2"
COLOR="BLACK"><B><@COLUMN "JobEditorial.StoryDetails"></B></font>
        </TD>
        <TD>
                <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2"
COLOR="BLACK"><B><@COLUMN "JobEditorial.StoryWriter"></B></font>
        </TD>
        <TD>
                <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2"
COLOR="BLACK"><B>
                <select name="AllocatedtoPageNo" Type="ARRAY">
                <option value=0>
  <@for stop=<@COLUMN 'JobNumbers.Pagination'>>
  <option value="<@currow>"><@currow></@for>
</select>
                </B></font>
        </TD>
</TR>
</@ROWS>

If I display the two arrays produced by this on a results page they are
fine...

However, putting these arrays in the update produces the correct number
of results, but all with the same page number in the page number
field!!! What am I doing wrong?

Hi Rick,

There is no need to loop to achieve this. You should give all your
checkboxes the same name, say myBoxes, then set the value attribute of
each checkbox to the database id of the corresponding record. You can
then use <@arg myBoxes type="array"> to retrieve an array of database
ids of checked boxes. 

So just drag on an update action. In the top pane drag on your id
column, select the 'is in' operator, then type <@arg myBoxes
type="array">. In the update with values pane, just set your flag
column. Use <@numaffected> in the results to satisy your curiosity that
all records are being updated.

The fun starts when you want to process un-checks.

Good luck. Simon
